Clark County EOP Basic Plan 1. Introduction records retention policies and operating procedures as set forth by County Administrative Guidelines and continuity of operations plans. For specific information on the protection of vital records go to the County’s Records Protection Plan administered by the County Auditor and considered a supporting plan to this EOP. 1.9 Administration and Logistics 1.9.1 Request, Allocation, and Distribution of Resources Resource requests may be submitted by the MACC or Emergency Manager according to provisions outlined under NIMS. NIMS additionally allows for discipline-specific mutual aid systems whereby additional resource requests may be submitted by local government functional coordinators to appropriate State agencies. For example, a city fire chief may submit a request for resources through the State of Nevada Fire Mutual Aid Agreement. The Incident Commander is responsible for the direction and control of the County’s resources during an emergency. All assistance requests are to be made through the County via the MACC, if activated. The MACC processes subsequent assistance requests to the State. As outlined in County Code Section 3.04.090, the Board of County Commissioners may appoint an emergency resources management board to advise on policies, priorities, and problems concerning the conservation, distribution, use, and resupply of resources under County control. See ESF 7 – Logistics Management and Resource Support for detailed information regarding available resources and coordination procedures established for the County. 1.9.2 Financial Management During an emergency, the County is likely to find it necessary to redirect their funds to effectively respond to the incident. The authority to adjust department budgets and funding priorities rests with the Board of County Commissioners. If an incident requires major redirection of County fiscal resources, the general procedures below will be followed:  The Board of Commissioners will meet in emergency session to decide how to respond to the emergency funding needs.  The Emergency Manager will advise the County Manager or the Board of County Commissioners to declare a State of Emergency, and/or the Board of County Commissioners will ratify it within seven days.  If a quorum of commissioners cannot be reached, and if a prompt decision will protect lives, County resources and facilities, or private property, the County Manager (or designee) may act on emergency funding requests. The Board of Commissioners will be advised of such actions as soon as practical.  To facilitate tracking of financial resources committed to the incident, and to provide the necessary documentation, a discrete charge code for all incident-related personnel time, losses, and purchases will be established by the Finance Section. Expenditure reports should be submitted to the County Finance Department and managed through the County Finance Department to identify budgetary shortfalls. The Chief Financial 1-15
