Background

The Clark County Charter Review Commission voted on July 8, 2026 to send this amendment (its item 26-24) to the November ballot, according to Resolution No. 26-24.

The charter currently lists presenting an annual statement of the county's fiscal and governmental affairs among the County Manager's powers; the resolution would make it a required duty, to be presented to the council in a public meeting and published broadly, alongside the existing duty to present an annual budget and budget message.
