Agenda note: DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, Vincent Queano, Clark County Director of Business License, provided an overview of the current contents of the Code that governed auctions held at resort hotels to the Board which included that auctions be limited to invite-only, pre-registered auctions for the resort itself, the furnishings of the resort, antique gaming equipment at least forty years old, and also a limit of two auctions per calendar year; the sale of live animals, real estate or motor vehicles was prohibited; and that the code not updated since 1995 and contained language that dated back to 1965. In response to Commissioner Gibson, the Director advised that the purpose of the Code had not yet been determined, and that Virginia Valentine, President & CEO at Nevada Resort Association (NRA), had assisted with research and would continue to participate in the research. Commissioner Gibson directed staff to continue efforts to research and update the ordinance, with a draft to be presented to the Board for review. County Management confirmed that staff would continue to work with the NRA on the revisions to the Code.
