Commission approves two-year contracts for DA investigators and county defenders

The Clark County Board of Commissioners approved two-year collective bargaining agreements effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028 with the District Attorney Investigators Association (DAIA) and the Clark County Defenders Union (CCDU). Christina Ramos, deputy director of human resources, said the DAIA agreement amends six articles, impacts 30 positions and includes a stated estimate for fiscal year 27; she also thanked labor partners for completing the negotiations.

Ramos reported the CCDU agreement also amends six articles, adds one new article and one appendix, and will impact 152 positions with an estimated fiscal-year-27 cost of $603,617. Both agreements were presented at public hearings; DAIA drew one public commenter offering general remarks about conduct standards. The commission approved both contracts; a commissioner abstained on one vote due to a familial conflict noted on the record.
