October 2021

Dear District G Residents,

Alas, the Summer heat is finally behind us and Fall is in the air!  The cooler days and nights will allow us to enjoy the many events happening in October so make sure to check out the various activities included in this month's newsletter.  We've provided some safety tips for Halloween and will be holding our annual Trunk or Treat this year on October 28th at Silver Bowl Park.  Details are below and I hope you can join us.  

Internet broadband accessibility was and is a hot topic during the pandemic, especially while children and adults had to learn and work from home. In order to make improvements to internet accessibility, Clark County is conducting a survey on broadband access and we'd appreciate you taking the time to complete it.  Information on how to participate is included in this newsletter or you can click here.  Two survey respondents will be chosen at random to win a $100 gift card!

As most of you know, Southern Nevada is challenged greatly with water resources.  Just a friendly reminder to make sure to reset your watering clocks if you haven't already.  For your watering schedule, click here.

Don't forget to check out the events in Henderson and Boulder City as there always seems to be some interesting and fun things going on in these cities.

As always, do not hesitate to email me at ccdistg@clarkcountynv.gov or call my office at (702) 455-3500 with any questions or concerns you may have. You can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

National Night Out: Convention Center and South Central Area Commands

Mark your calendars! National Night Out is right around the corner! Come join us for a night of fun, free food, information, and entertainment with the LVMPD Convention Center Area Command or South Central Area Command.

National Night Out is an annual community building event to promote police and community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. By doing this, we strive to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live and work. National Night Out is a great opportunity for the Area Commands to work together with their public and private partners to build positive relationships and a sense of community with our residents.

Inside By 9

Halloween may be one of the most fun nights of the year, but it also can be one of the most dangerous for young pedestrians. This is why Clark County promotes the "Inside By 9" Halloween public safety campaign that includes discouraging trick or treating after 9 p.m. Residents are also being asked to turn off their porch lights at that time to discourage children from knocking on their doors.​​

For Halloween events, safety tips, and more, follow us on social media at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and use the hashtag #Insideby9.  Or click here to get more information.

NV Energy Expanded Solar Access Program

NV Energy has a new program which may help reduce energy rates for low-income clients. Through ESAP, a limited number of eligible residential and business customers can derive their electricity mix from utility-scale and community based solar resources without requiring a solar system installation on their property.  In addition to providing rate relief for selected low-income customers, ESAP helps drive clean energy development and brings environmental and economic benefits to Nevada.  For more information or to apply, please click here.  NV Energy is accepting applications through October 31, 2021.

Pfizer COVID-19 Booster Eligibility

The Southern Nevada Health District will begin offering Pfizer COVID-19 booster doses to people who are eligible at its clinics beginning Tuesday, September 28.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now recommending booster doses of the Pfizer vaccine for people who are at higher risk for COVID-19. At this time, booster doses are only available to people who received the Pfizer vaccine. Anyone who received the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine is not currently eligible for a booster dose.

People who are coming into a Health District clinic to get a booster should note that the state-wide appointment system is still in the process of being updated, and appointments cannot be scheduled online at this time. People can walk into Health District clinics and receive a booster dose during clinic hours and as resources are available. Clinic locations are available at www.snhd.info/covid-vaccine.

The Whitney Recreation Center has lots of events planned for October.  Below are just a few events scheduled at Whitney Rec!  Please call (702) 455-7576 to find out about all the other fun things planned this month for all ages.
