§ 3.36.010. Created—Purpose.

(a) Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 244.016 and 244.018, the board of county commissioners redistricts the seven county commission election districts.

(b)

The policy for redistricting the county is declared to be:

(1)

To provide that the several commission districts shall represent substantially equal numbers of people as practicable, in compliance with the Constitutions of the U.S. and the state of Nevada;

(2)

To preserve the unity of each district where practicable so that each is composed entirely of contiguous territory and is as compact as possible;

(3)

To avoid, where practicable, any division which would tend to submerge an area in a larger district wherein substantially different socioeconomic interests predominate.

(c)

The board of county commissioners finds that:

(1)

The redistricting shall be based upon the population count established by the last national census of the Bureau of Census of the United States Department of Commerce.

(2)

Each county commissioner shall be a resident of and be elected by the registered voters of the county commissioner election district as provided in this chapter.

(3)

The number of county commissioners elected at each general election pursuant to this chapter shall be as nearly equal as possible.

(d)

Clark County is divided into the following county commission election districts designated as Districts A through G. Districts A, B, C and D shall consist of commission seats with terms expiring on the day before the first Monday of January, 1993, and thereafter consisting of four-year terms. Districts E, F and G consist of commission seats with terms expiring on the day before the first Monday in January, 1995 and thereafter consisting of four-year terms.

(e)

Maps identifying the boundaries of the various districts are attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter as Exhibits "1" and "2" which by this reference are made a part of this chapter. District A is all of the territory of Clark County lying within the beige area; District B is all that area in blue; District C is all that area in green; District D is all that area in yellow; District E is all that area in salmon; District F is all that area in pink; and District G is all that area in lavender.
