BACKGROUND: 

NRS 176.014 provides for the creation of the Nevada Local Justice Reinvestment Coordinating Council (Council). Among its duties, the Council shall advise the Nevada Sentencing Commission on matters related to any legislation, regulations, rules, and budgetary changes; identify county-level programming and treatment needs for persons involved in the criminal justice system for the purposes of reducing recidivism; and make recommendations to the Nevada Sentencing Commission regarding grants to local governments and non-profit organizations from the State General Fund.

The Council consists of one (1) member from each county in Nevada whose population is less than 100,000 and two (2) members from each county in Nevada whose population is 100,000 or more. Terms of the members are two-years, and members are eligible for reappointment.

Julia Murray is a Chief Deputy Public Defender in the Clark County Public Defender's Office. She was appointed to the Council in 2021. Her term concludes in September 2023, and she has expressed interest in being reappointed.

Commissioner Tick Segerblom was appointed to the Council in 2021. His term concludes in September 2023 as well. Commissioner McCurdy has expressed interest in being appointed to the Council as Commissioner Segerblom's term concludes.

The Clark County Board of County Commissioners (County Commission) is asked to appoint Commissioner McCurdy and reappoint Julia Murray to the Council; and direct staff to notify the Nevada Department of Sentencing Policy that the appointments have been made.
