Summary
The court agreed to reopen community fund applications through the next Thursday at 4 p.m., schedule a committee review for Nov. 21 at 8:30 a.m., and notify nonprofits via website and social media after noting earlier repayment caused confusion.
Clark County fiscal court agreed to reopen the community fund application window after members noted repayment of previously borrowed funds had disrupted this year's timeline for nonprofits.
A magistrate said that community fund repayments created confusion and may have left two or three groups unaware of application deadlines. The court voted to reopen applications through next Thursday at 4 p.m., ask staff to post notices on the county website and Facebook, and hold the community fund committee review at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 21 in the conference room downstairs. Several commissioners volunteered to contact nonprofits known to have questions and staff agreed to post the notice and contact organizations who had called.
The motion was seconded and carried. The court directed staff to collect any late applications and review them at the committee meeting. The action reopens access for applicants but does not change eligibility criteria; the committee will evaluate applications per the standard process.
