BACKGROUND:
The Moapa Valley Fire Protection District (District) was created pursuant to NRS 474.460 and Clark County Code Chapter 3.20. The District was created for the protection of property, public health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of Clark County. Specifically, the District provides for the prevention and extinguishment of fires and the provision of emergency medical services in the unincorporated areas within Clark County generally located, described, and comprising the following: from the northerly Warm Springs area, Moapa, Moapa Valley, Logandale, Overton, the Valley of Fire, and southerly, including the Echo Bay area.
The Moapa Valley Fire Protection District Advisory Board (Advisory Board) provides assistance to the Board of Fire Commissioners (BFC). The Advisory Board receives and reviews monthly reports from the three (3) station Assistant Fire Chiefs pertaining to station operations, improvement requests, physical updates, bills, and purchase requests. Moreover, the Advisory Board makes recommendations to the BFC for the approval or denial of payments on all monetary requests to be paid out of the approved operating and capital improvement budgets.
The Advisory Board members are appointed by the BFC. Each member appointed to the Advisory Board is appointed to two-year (2-year) terms beginning in February. All Advisory Board members serve at the pleasure of the BFC.
At the January 22, 2024 Advisory Board meeting, the Advisory Board recommends that Joseph Davis be reappointed. Christopher Stolworthy was recommended to serve as the newly created citizen non-volunteer firefighter member.
The BFC is asked to reappoint Joseph Davis and appoint Christopher Stolworthy, as citizen non-volunteer firefighters, for a two-year (2-year) term ending February 6, 2026.
