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 are appointed to two-year (2-year) terms beginning in February. All Advisory Board members serve at the pleasure of the BFC.
At the January 19, 2021 Advisory Board meeting, the Advisory Board recommended that Anthony Rivera be appointed to represent the Logandale Fire Station (Station 73).
Additionally, in an odd year, the BFC also needs to appoint a citizen non-volunteer to the Advisory Board. Eugene Houston has expressed interest in the position and has submitted an application to staff.
The BFC is asked to appoint Anthony Rivera as the Logandale Fire Station representative and Eugene Houston as a citizen non-volunteer representative to the Advisory Board for a two-year (2-year) term ending February 2, 2023.
