Clark County Proposed Charter Amendment No. 13
The Clark County Charter Review Commission adopted Resolution No. 2021-11 proposing an amendment to the Clark County Home Rule Charter, regarding filling vacancies of county elected executive offices. If approved, this amendment would add a section to the Charter which would require the County Assessor, Auditor, Clerk, Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff, and Treasurer to each provide a certified list of senior office employees to serve in that official's role if the position became vacant until the position is filled in the next general election. This amendment would also describe the process for appointing a person to a vacant council position.
