BACKGROUND:
To be designated as a hearing officer for Clark County, an individual must meet the following requirements of the Clark County Code: 1) Be a resident of the state of Nevada; 2) be either a graduate of an accredited law school or a graduate of an accredited four-year college with at least five (5) years’ experience in public administration; and 3) complete a four-hour course of classroom instruction in administrative law provided by the Office of the District Attorney prior to conducting administrative hearings. Drew Christensen, Abigail Frierson, Todd Levanthal, Diana C. Lowe, Mandy McKeller, Daniel J. Reed and Damian R. Sheets have successfully completed or will complete the required classroom instruction and are otherwise qualified pursuant to Code requirements.
The pool will serve as hearing officers for various Clark County departments. Abigail Frierson will be a hearing officer for hearings held pursuant to Clark County Code Chapter 2.38, which is commonly referred to as the "Whistleblower" ordinance, as well as for hearings held pursuant to Clark County Code Chapter 24.40 relating to storm sewer system discharges, and for any hearings that might arise for other Clark County departments.
Sam Bateman was appointed as a Clark County hearing officer at the January 2, 2024 Commission meeting. Due to Sam Bateman's retirement from Clark County, he will no longer be serving in this capacity.
The Board is asked to appoint Drew Christensen, Abigail Frierson, Todd Levanthal, Diana C. Lowe, Mandy McKeller, Daniel J. Reed and Damian R. Sheets as Clark County hearing officers for a term ending January 2, 2028, and approve the removal of Sam Bateman as a Clark County hearing officer.
