Citizens
who are members of nonprofit organizations involved in
boating are encouraged to apply for a seat on the
county’s Boating Facilities and Safety Committee.
We
are currently seeking to fill four spots on the
seven-member committee. Those spots will become vacant
in July when the terms expire for those currently
holding those positions.
Those
interested in serving are urged to call Arlene Chapman
in the Clark County Manager’s Office at (702) 455-3530
to obtain an application. Completed applications must be
turned in to the manager’s office on the 6th floor of
the County Government Center by 1 p.m.
on Thursday, June 21.
Members
serve two-year terms on the volunteer committee, which
advises the County Commission on how to spend marina fuel taxes generated at the Lake
Mead National Recreation Area.
Since
the committee was created in 1986, more than $1 million
in marina fuel tax revenue has paid for safety programs,
equipment and educational projects that promote boating
and water safety at Lake Mead, Lake Mojave
and on the Colorado River.
Current
members of the committee represent the Nevada Yacht
Club, Desert Valley Water Safety Council, the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary, Las Vegas Sail & Power Squadron,
Lake Mead Boat Owner’s Association, the Nevada
Division of Wildlife and the public at large.
The
committee typically meets six times a year. Meetings are
held at the County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway
in downtown Las Vegas.
