Detraz Post Office Box 177 Alamo, Nevada 89001 Re: Open Meeting Law Complaint Joint City/County Impact Alleviation Committee (JCCIA) OMLO 2001-01/AG File No. 00-040 Dear Ms. Detraz: On August 25, 2000, this office received from you, via fax, the minutes of a meeting held on March 12, 1998, by the Joint City/County Impact Alleviation Committee (JCCIAC), a public body within the purview of the Open Meeting Law. We were subsequently apprized, based on conversations with you and with Lincoln County Clerk Conine Hogan, that you intended to allege an Open Meeting Law complaint based on concerns that minutes of the March 12, 1998 meeting of the JCCIAC might be missing, and that the HCCIAC had met in a location outside Lincoln County. This office has jurisdiction over complaints alleging violations of the Open Meeting Law as found in Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 241. Pursuant to NRS 241.037, the Attorney General has 120 days from the date of the alleged violation to file an action in District Court for injunctive or declaratory relief if, after an investigation, we believe a violation occurred. As we discussed at length during our meeting with you on September 19, 2000, because your inquiries regarding possible violations of the Open Meeting Law concern a March 12, 1998 meeting of the JCCIAC, which is beyond the 120-day statutory period for bringing an action, we are without jurisdiction to take action concerning your complaint. Nevertheless, we did request the agenda for the March 12, 1998 meeting to determine if there were minutes taken and whether minutes were missing minutes. We also looked to see if the meeting was properly posted in advance, and obtained a copy of the March 12, 1998 meeting agenda from the coordinator for the JCCIAC.
