Proposed rule changes follow controversy over a 2025 board removal and raise new questions about council authority
The Clark County Council is considering changes to its Rules of Procedure after a contentious 2025 decision to remove Councilor Michelle Belkot from the C-TRAN Board of Directors — a move that led to lawsuits and a criminal investigation.
