Clark County Board of Commissioners
| Discussed as Recommended
Agenda note: DOCUMENT(S): Submitted
1. Clark County, Nevada Office of Traffic Study (10 pages) submitted by staff
Following introduction of the item, Commissioner Naft provided statistics on traffic fatalities for the past five years in Clark County; advised that Clark County bears a financial cost of all crashes; advised of possible solutions utilizing various County departments, and a scope of work; and recommended the Director of Traffic Safety position be a Schedule 35, reporting to the County Manager.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Segerblom, Commissioner Naft advised that Miami Dade County and the five boroughs in New York had similar offices; and a position existed at the State level to monitor the entire state, but most issues were in Clark County so the position should be internal.
Commissioner Segerblom advised that there could be establishments that over-serve alcohol to customers causing some to end up in traffic accidents and suggested that the position could be used to investigate such instances to assess possible liability. | |
