County of Clark recently issued the following announcement.
The Clark County Commission will hold a public hearing Tuesday, Nov. 2 at 10 a.m. on an ordinance to set new boundary lines for each of the seven Commission districts, a process that takes place every 10 years following the U.S. Census.
The ordinance was introduced at the Oct. 19 meeting of the board, where the public was afforded an opportunity to provide input. Residents also provided comments at an Oct. 4 community meeting.
The Nov. 2 Commission meeting will be held in the first-floor Commission Chambers at the Clark County Government Center at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway in downtown Las Vegas. Those unable to attend in person may watch the proceedings live on Clark County Television (CCTV) and at www.Facebook.com/ClarkCountyNV, www.Twitter.com/ClarkCountyNV and https://www.youtube.com/user/ClarkCountyNV/live. One also may submit comments or questions to redistricting@ClarkCountyNV.gov.
The redistricting process is undertaken every 10 years following the national Census in order to comply with state law, which requires Commission districts to be nearly equal in population. Rapid growth in population over the last decade has resulted in great variations in population across the County’s seven Commission districts. For instance, Commissioner Justin Jones’ District F is the largest with 365,567 residents while Commissioner William McCurdy II’s District D is the smallest, having 21 percent fewer residents than District F with 287,626. If each Commission district had the same population, that figure would be 323,637 people.
