BACKGROUND: 

NRS 5.020(3) authorizes the governing body of a city, with the consent of the board of county commissioners and the justice of the peace, to appoint a justice of the peace of the township in which the city is located as the ex officio municipal court judge of the city.

Currently, the Mesquite Township Justice of the Peace has served as the ex officio municipal court judge pursuant to a memorandum of understanding, which will expire at the end of the calendar year. The City of Mesquite would like the Mesquite Township Justice of the Peace to continue to serve as the ex officio municipal court judge for the City of Mesquite and therefore requests the consent of the Board of County Commissioners to that appointment.

This consent would be effective indefinitely unless revoked upon further action of the Board.
