Henderson gets longer vacancy election timeline

For Council, mayor, or municipal judge vacancies, Henderson can appoint a qualified replacement by majority vote within 60 days. Alternatively, the Council must adopt a resolution calling a special election within 60 days and set its date. The election deadline is now 90 days after that resolution, rather than 90 days after the vacancy. Elections remain barred from the day after a municipal primary through 120 days after a municipal general election. Candidates must meet the office's qualifications; winners take office at the first Council meeting after results are officially confirmed. Appointed or elected replacements serve until a successor is elected and qualified.

Henderson allows low-price public-purpose property transfers

When the public interest requires it, Henderson can transfer city property for a token amount. Eligible recipients include the United States, Nevada, Clark County, other Nevada local governments, and quasi-public or nonprofit groups. The City no longer has to recover what it paid to acquire the property. Applicable state rules for city property transfers still apply.

More Henderson property buyers can pay installments

Henderson can now sell any city-owned real property with payments over time, not just unimproved land. The City Council sets the down payment and interest rate. Buyers must pay at least 6% yearly interest on the remaining unpaid balance.
