Committee recommends adding new precinct to Ward 4 after Clark County annexation
Loading...
Summary
The recommending committee voted to approve bill 2026-9 to update Ward 4 boundaries to include a precinct that Clark County created following an annexation. Staff said the change aligns the city map with county congressional and legislative districts; no public comment was offered.
The recommending committee voted March 30 to approve bill 2026-9, which updates Ward 4’s boundary description to include an additional precinct Clark County created after a recent annexation.
Deputy City Attorney Jillian Block Sayerbloom explained the change, saying the city had passed an ordinance in January to update precinct maps for several wards but "this precinct was not included in the bill at that time because it was not included in the county's update," and that the new precinct is needed to align the city’s precincts with congressional and state legislative boundaries. The update affects Ward 4 only, she said.
Mayor Pro Tem opened a public hearing on the item; no members of the public spoke. A motion to approve was made on the committee floor and the committee voted to forward the ordinance for adoption at the April City Council meeting. The transcript records the item as passed at the committee level; the transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a tally.
The ordinance was introduced at the committee at the request of the city clerk, Lou Anne Holmes, and the change was prompted by a Clark County election department update tied to an annexation. The committee made no changes to the text explained at the meeting and recommended the item for council action.
Next step: the item will be heard by the City Council on April 15, 2026 for final action.
