After public comment, the board struck down the designation in a 7-4 vote. The yes votes came from North Las Vegas Councilmember Scott Black, Boulder City Mayor Joe Hardy, gaming representative Scott Nielson, as well as Henderson City Councilmember Jim Seebock. The other seven members, largely comprised of Democratic elected officials, voted to deny the application. This included County Commissioners Tick Segerblom and Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Dr. Frank Nemec, Bobette Bond, a representative from the insurance agency connected to Culinary Union Local 226, as well as several local city council members.
