BACKGROUND: 

The Clark County Department of Aviation (DOA) is seeking authorization to enter into a Cost Reimbursement Agreement (Agreement) between Clark County and the BLM, for the costs to be incurred by BLM (in its capacity as a joint lead agency) in regard to the preparation of the EIS and ROD for the proposed SNSA.

On June 4th, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners granted authorization for the Director of Aviation to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the BLM, with the objective of establishing a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the parties involved and facilitating the preparation of the EIS. Paragraph I.D and II.C of the approved MOU anticipates that the Sponsor (DOA) may reimburse the FAA and BLM for expenses related to the EIS and ROD.

This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the District Attorney's Office.
