Joint Meeting of Clark County Boards, May 18, 2026: FY 2027 Final Budget Adoption

A special joint meeting of the Clark County Board of Commissioners, Clark County Redevelopment Agency, Clark County Water Reclamation District Board of Trustees, and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada Board of Trustees was held on May 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM in the Commission Chambers in Las Vegas, Nevada. The primary focus was to conduct public hearings on and adopt the Fiscal Year 2027 final budgets for Clark County and the Clark County Redevelopment Agency. Consent Calendar - Approval of the meeting agenda was moved and passed unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke during any of the designated public comment periods, including the initial public forum, the public hearings on the budgets, or the final general public comment period. Discussion Items - FY 2027 Tentative Budget for Clark County: County Manager Schiller presented an overview. Key points included: - The general fund budget shows a $59.1 million structural deficit, meaning operating expenditures exceed recurring operating revenues. This gap is currently filled by reserves and capital project funds, which is deemed unsustainable. - Consolidated tax (C-tax) revenue is trending at about a 2 to 2.5% increase after smoothing out FY25 vs. FY26 data, but this still lags behind expenditure growth. Commissioner noted difficulty in comparing month-over-month data due to a state system change and requested further analysis from the Nevada Department of Taxation. - Property tax revenue came in lower than original projections (5.2% increase instead of the filed 7%). Licenses and permits revenue decreased largely due to franchise fee revenue from gas and electricity, not a significant drop in building permits by volume. - Total general fund expenditures increase by 5.6%, including $5.5 million for supplemental positions (30 new Metro positions for $3 million). Manager Schiller stated these positions will require separate board approval in June. - Staff recommended a cost-containment plan starting July 1, 2026, including limiting supplemental positions, capping department vacancy rates at 10%, deferring non-health/safety capital replacements, and limiting discretionary costs. - FY 2027 Tentative Budget for Clark County Redevelopment Agency: Manager Schiller presented: - A significant increase in assessed valuation from $692 million base to a combined increment of $68.5 million, primarily due to newly added districts. - Incremental property tax revenue totals about $271,000 in FY27. The RDA’s total resources are $73 million, with $65.7 million appropriated, maintaining a 10% ending fund balance. Key Outcomes - Item 3: The public hearing on the FY 2027 Tentative Budget for Clark County was held. No public comment was received. - Item 4: The public hearing on the FY 2027 Tentative Budget for the Clark County Redevelopment Agency was held. No public comment was received. - Item 5: The Board voted unanimously to adopt the Final Budget for Clark County, the Unincorporated Towns and Special Districts, the University Medical Center, and the Clark County Water Reclamation District for FY 2027 and directed staff to transmit the approved documents to the State of Nevada Department of Taxation. - Item 6: The Board voted unanimously to adopt the Final Budget for the Clark County Redevelopment Agency for FY 2027 and directed staff to transmit the approved documents to the State of Nevada Department of Taxation. - Next steps include filing the budget by June 1, 2026, presenting supplemental and capital recommendations on June 2, 2026, and providing a budget update on December 15, 2026.

Police Fatality Public Fact-Finding Review for Death of Robert Fanello – May 14, 2026

On May 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., the Clark County Police Fatality Public Fact-Finding Review was held in the Commission Chambers to examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Robert Fanello on March 22, 2025. Hearing Officer Mandy McKellar presided, with Carl Arnold serving as ombudsman representing the public and the Fanello family. Chief Deputy District Attorney Nicholas Portz presented the facts on behalf of the District Attorney’s Office, which had preliminarily determined that no criminal prosecution of the involved officers was appropriate. Detective Brian Walter of the LVMPD Force Investigation Team (FIT) served as the primary witness. Discussion Items - Overview of the Incident: Detective Walter testified that on March 22, 2025, at approximately 1:52 p.m., a suicide hotline contacted LVMPD dispatch reporting that Robert Fanello (68) had a loaded .357 Magnum revolver and stated he would shoot himself if no one came. Fanello admitted to beating his wife (identified as CF) for two days and said he would not put the firearm down. At 2:02 p.m., officers arrived and Fanello fired a warning shot into the air. At 2:06 p.m., officers observed Fanello in the cul-de-sac with the firearm. At 2:09 p.m., verbal commands were issued, and Fanello was asked to drop the weapon, with offers of help. At 2:10 p.m., Sergeant LeGrand saw Fanello holding the firearm to his head. At 2:12 p.m., Officer Larry Jones fired one round from his .223 rifle, striking Fanello. Fanello was taken into custody and transported to UMC, where he was pronounced deceased at 3:01 p.m. - Use of Force Explanation: Detective Walter testified that Officer Jones, positioned on the second floor of a nearby residence with a spotter (Officer Altamirano), saw Fanello raise his revolver toward the immediate action team (officers positioned down the street). Officer Jones stated he fired to protect the other officers. Body-worn camera and third-party video showed Fanello pointing his firearm in the direction of the action team. The action team was behind a patrol car, approximately six houses away (estimated 30–50 yards). - Ombudsman Questioning: Carl Arnold questioned Detective Walter about whether Officer Jones could see the action team, noting that the window view was obstructed and that the action team was not visible from the residence. Arnold highlighted that only three minutes elapsed between the first verbal commands (2:09 p.m.) and the shot (2:12 p.m.), and that the action team had crisis intervention training but did not have extended time to de-escalate. Detective Walter confirmed that Officer Jones could not see the action team but could hear them and knew their location via radio. Arnold also noted that the decedent had initiated the call for help via the suicide hotline. - Autopsy and Toxicology: The autopsy, conducted on April 8, 2025, by Dr. Nagy, listed cause of death as gunshot wound of the torso and manner of death as homicide. Toxicology showed caffeine and THC in Fanello’s system. - Applicable Charges: Had Fanello survived, he would have faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a protected person (three counts), battery domestic violence resulting in substantial bodily harm (victim over 60), and discharging a firearm where a person might be endangered. Key Outcomes - The hearing was informational only; no formal determination regarding cause or manner of death was rendered. The District Attorney’s preliminary finding of no criminal prosecution was not altered by the review. - The ombudsman raised concerns about the brevity of de-escalation efforts (approximately three minutes) and the inability of Officer Jones to directly see the action team, though the DA’s office maintained that the use of force was justified because Fanello pointed a deadly weapon at officers within range. - No questions were submitted by the public during the proceeding.

Debt Management Commission Meeting – May 7, 2026

The Debt Management Commission met on May 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM (UTC) to consider two proposed bond issuances for the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) and the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA). The meeting began with roll call, establishment of a quorum, approval of the agenda, and approval of minutes from the previous meeting. There were no public comments. The main business was a presentation by Guy Hobbs and Paul Johnson on two new money bond issuances, both for capital projects, followed by unanimous approval of both items. Consent Calendar - Approval of the agenda (motion, second, unanimous). - Approval of minutes from the regular meeting held last month (motion, second, unanimous). Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke or were present. Discussion Items - Presentation on Bond Issuances: Guy Hobbs, joined by Paul Johnson (CFO for LVVWD and SNWA), summarized two proposed bond issuances: 1. LVVWD 2026 Cs – $93 million: For Las Vegas Valley Water District capital improvements, 30-year term, AA+ rated, projected debt service coverage of 9.5 times in 2025 and 8–11 times thereafter. 2. SNWA (issued through LVVWD) – $515 million: For Southern Nevada Water Authority capital projects, also 30-year term, AA+ rated, with projected coverage of approximately 6 times. - Both issuances are new money (not refunding) and include a covenant to raise water rates if needed to meet debt service; if rates are insufficient, a general obligation would require property tax increases. The presenters noted that the coverage ratios include the proposed debt. - Questions from Commissioners: - A commissioner (likely Commissioner Naft) asked if the $515 million issuance was for the “horizon lateral” redundancy project for the Three Road Parkway lateral. Paul Johnson confirmed yes. - Another commissioner asked why SNWA issues bonds through LVVWD. The answer: LVVWD is the local government issuing authority, and SNWA pledges revenue to secure the bonds via a master bond repayment agreement. This is the standard conduit arrangement. Key Outcomes - Item 3 – Approval of LVVWD $93 million bond issuance: Motion by Commissioner Naft (or similar), seconded by Eric Helly. Approved unanimously (all ayes, no opposed). - Item 4 – Approval of SNWA $515 million bond issuance: Motion by Commissioner Naft, seconded by another commissioner. Approved unanimously. - The meeting adjourned without further public comment.

Clark County Planning Commission Briefing - May 5, 2026

The Clark County Planning Commission held a briefing meeting on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center. The meeting was called to order by Chair Edward Frasier III and lasted approximately 16 minutes. Commissioners reviewed 28 agenda items for the upcoming regular Planning Commission meeting, including routine and non-routine items. Staff presented recommendations, and commissioners discussed several items, focusing on waiver requests, use permits, and development standards. No action was taken; the briefing was informational. Discussion Items - Routine Action Items (Items 4–10): Hunter White, Principal Planner, presented routine items including extension of time for a multifamily development (Item 4), vacation of easements and a use permit for a fiber optic utility building (Items 5–6), vacation for Tropical Parkway (Item 7), vacation for patent easements on Mill Lane (Item 8), vacation for pedestrian access easements (Item 9), and a waiver of development standards for a single-family residence (Item 10). Staff recommended approval for all, with various town board or CAC recommendations. Commissioner Leslie Mujica asked about eliminating landscaping on Item 6; White clarified it was a small utility building on the same property as a place of worship. - Non-Routine Action Items (Items 11–28): White continued with non-routine items. For Item 11 (use permit for banquet facility), staff recommended denial due to compatibility issues, and Spring Valley Town Board recommended denial with prejudice. Commissioner Vivian Kilarski noted that denial with prejudice would prevent the applicant from reapplying for one year; Commissioner Michael Roitman confirmed that without prejudice the applicant could reapply immediately. The applicant had missed three Town Board meetings and had not responded to staff outreach. - Item 12 was requested to be held by the applicant with no specific date. Items 13 and 14 (waivers for structures built without permits) staff recommended denial due to self-imposed hardship, while town boards recommended approval. Item 15 (increase wall height) staff recommended denial due to lack of mitigating measures, with significant public protest (nine cards in protest). - Items 16–20 (companion items: plan amendment, zone change, vacation, waivers, and design review) were discussed at length. The applicant revised plans and withdrew two waivers (numbers 2 and 3A), prompting staff to update their recommendation to support the application. Enterprise Town Board had recommended approval for most parts but denial for some waivers and the design review. - Items 21–24 were requested to be continued to the May 19, 2026 Planning Commission meeting and the June 17, 2026 Board of County Commissioners meeting. - Items 25–28 (companion items: plan amendment, zone change, waiver and design review, tentative map): staff recommended approval of the plan amendment and zone change but denial of the waiver, design review, and tentative map due to elimination of open space and increased retaining walls. Commissioner Kilarski noted that waiver number 3 (related to fill) was no longer needed, but staff maintained denial based on open space elimination. Key Outcomes - No formal votes or decisions were made; the briefing was informational for commissioners to prepare for the regular meeting. - Staff recommendations were clarified for several items, and the commission acknowledged the applicant’s intent to withdraw certain waivers for Items 16–20. - For Item 11, the commission discussed the implications of denial with prejudice versus without prejudice, but no vote was taken. - Items 21–24 were officially requested to be continued. - The meeting adjourned at 6:16 PM without public comments.
