BACKGROUND: 

On October 4, 2023, Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick led a discussion by the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") regarding a potential resolution to establish a committee that will assist in exploring issues intended to preserve the rural lifestyle of designated areas located in unincorporated Clark County.  The unprecedented growth in the Las Vegas Valley threatens to intrude on the unique character that residents have grown accustomed to, and there has been an outpouring of concern about potential impacts.  The Board directed staff to bring back a resolution to establish the creation of a committee to work on these matters.

This resolution establishes the Rural Alliance Advisory Committee.  After adoption of the resolution, the County can begin the application process to seek interested and eligible members for the Board to appoint to the committee at a future meeting.

Staff recommends that the Board approve, adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution and proceed with recruitment efforts.
