BACKGROUND:
Since 1983 the Clark County Water Reclamation District Board of Trustees (Board) has delegated specific authorities to the General Manager, which included but is not limited to, purchasing of goods and services, sale of property, advertising for bids, approving interlocal agreements, approving work modifications, records retention, renewal of leases, and reservation of sewer capacity. The authorities delegated to the District General Manager, or designee, have been consolidated and augmented in one document, attached to the Resolution as Attachment B and titled “Authority Delegated by the Board of Trustees to the General Manager” (“GM Authority”). This effort clarifies outdated resolutions, fills identified gaps in authority needed to effectively manage District daily operations (including but not limited to, emergency declaration and employee recognition), and provides for a single source document for easier reference and administration of General Manager authority delegated by the Board.
Along with the specific delegated authority, the resolution vests in the General Manager all authority necessary or incidental to or implied from the specific authority granted by the resolution. The General Manager may delegate to a designee, in writing, any authority delegated to the General Manager by the resolution, and the General Manager retains the discretion to present any matter covered herein to the Board for approval, or otherwise refrain from exercising such authority.
If adopted, Resolution 21-004 will provide a single source of reference for authority delegated to the General Manager by the Board.
This agenda item has been reviewed and approved by the District General Counsel.
