Ag advisory commission adopts bylaws, staff to insert county definition of agriculture
Summary
The commission approved draft bylaws with a planned edit to allow shared chair roles and to reference the county’s definition of agriculture in Title 40.
The Clark County Agricultural Advisory Commission approved its draft bylaws at the Aug. 27 meeting, with staff stating they will add language referencing the county’s Title 40 definition of agriculture and permitting a shared‑chair option.
Commission staff said the bylaws had been circulated in advance and that no written edits had been submitted since the prior meeting. During discussion commissioners raised whether to incorporate a county code definition of agriculture and whether to allow co‑chairs; staff said Title 40 contains a county definition and offered to reference it in the bylaws. The commission voted to approve the bylaws with those adjustments.
Motion and vote A motion to approve the bylaws with the two changes (linking to the county definition of agriculture and allowing a shared chair role) was made and seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded nays.
Context Staff and commissioners noted Clark County previously included agricultural land designations in the 1994 comprehensive plan and that a new countywide agricultural resource land study is underway as part of the 2025–2045 comprehensive plan update. Commissioners asked staff to bring the county code reference and historical materials back for future review.
Ending Staff said they would amend the bylaws to reference Title 40 and return any substantive changes to a future meeting so the group could consider them alongside the ongoing ag land study.
