Clark County Council adopts interim practice to amend council-time agenda; formal rule changes set for January
Summary
Councilors reviewed a staff-drafted update to the council-time agenda amendment process, agreed to use the updated procedure as an interim practice through the end of 2025, and scheduled formal rule-of-procedure consideration in January 2026.
Councilors reviewed a revised business process for amending the council-time agenda. Staff explained they split the earlier single step into separate procedures for removing items and adding items, and added an objection path in which the chair asks for objections and the council votes if an objection is raised. The updated procedure and a tracked-changes version were distributed to council members.
Councilors agreed to operate under the updated process for the remainder of 2025 and to include a formal public hearing and rules-of-procedure update in January 2026 for final adoption. Councilor Kathleen (last name not provided in the transcript) suggested exploring whether work‑session items earlier the same day could be open for comment during council time at a future rules review. Staff noted the change was intended to improve public notice and predictability by clarifying when items are added or removed.
The council did not adopt permanent rule changes at the meeting; instead it approved the update as an interim practice and scheduled additional review in January 2026 as part of the rules-of-procedure update.
