Clark County Ethics Review Commission re-elects Adam Murray as chair, names Darcy Rourke vice chair

The Clark County Ethics Review Commission voted to re-elect Adam Murray as chair and appointed Commissioner Darcy Rourke as vice chair during its May meeting. Adam Murray said he had been honored to serve and supported rotating the chair but was willing to continue if the commission preferred. "I've been serving as the chair since we started and I've been honored and proud to do so," Murray said.

Commissioners moved and seconded the nominations. The motion to retain Murray as chair passed by voice vote, with multiple members saying "I" and one recorded dissent; a subsequent motion to make Darcy Rourke vice chair passed unanimously. The commission handled the votes as standard procedural voice votes and recorded no other formal objections.

The leadership decisions followed brief remarks about the commission's early, formative years and a desire by some members to rotate leadership roles. The commission did not set a timeline for the next leadership change.

The commission then moved on to its other business, including complaint reviews and presentations on the Open Public Meetings Act and county ethics rules.
