Voter registration closes May 23

Boulder City residents who would like to vote in the upcoming general election have until May 23 to register.

Those interested in registering may do so at the city clerk’s office in City Hall, 401 California Ave., as well as at the Clark County Election Department, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, Las Vegas, any branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles, or by mail.

Voter registration also will be accepted online through the Clark County Registrar of Voters at www.clarkcountynv.gov/vote. The service is available 24 hours a day.

After May 13, residents can register only in person at the city clerk’s office. Hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 15-18, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 22 and 23.

The general election is scheduled for June 13, with early voting scheduled from May 31 through June 3. For early voting, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 31 and June 1, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 2 and 3.

Boulder City residents will be asked to vote to fill two seats on the City Council as well as two ballot questions.

After an April primary featuring eight candidates, four advanced. Those seeking a seat on the council are Warren Harhay, Kiernan McManus, John Milburn and Councilman Cam Walker.

The first ballot question seeks to remove the 30-home per developer per year cap while retaining the 120-home annual limit as part of the city’s controlled growth ordinance.

The second question, which is advisory only, seeks residents opinions on creating an interchange on Interstate 11 at Buchanan Boulevard.

We generally expect our leaders to be educated, smart, and well-informed. More often than not, we support, elect, and follow those who appear to have an answer for everything. But good leaders don’t know everything. And the very best ones know that they don’t know everything.

Sound decisions keep Boulder City costs down

Boulder City residents occasionally ask how the city is able to have one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, and still provide needed functions such as police, fire, and public parks. In addition to land leases that provide 35% of our general fund budget, we also look at ways to keep costs down. As the city’s Purchasing, Grants and Risk manager for the last eight years, I have seen the city make decisions that keep us lean.
