CRESA Administrative Board
Through an Interlocal Agreement with Clark County and the seven cities within the County, as well as participating fire districts, the majority of CRESA's services, including 9-1-1 Dispatch Operations, Administrative Services, Emergency Management and Technical Services, are governed by an Administrative Board comprised of nine board members serving indefinite terms.
The CRESA Administrative Board has the authority and responsibility to provide policy and legislative direction for CRESA and its administration. The Board appoints and supervises the Director, oversees the finances and budget of the Agency, approves CRESA contracts and agreements over $10,000, determines what services the Agency shall offer, reviews and adopts personnel, purchasing, and financial policies, and acts as necessary to further CRESA's goals and purposes.
