Re:   Open Meeting Law Complaint, OAG File No. 13897-334,
Mesquite City Council
Dear Mr. Lisk:
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is in receipt of your complaint
alleging violations of the Nevada Open Meeting Law (OML) by the Mesquite City
Council (MCC). The violations alleged in your complaint, in summary, assert that
the MCC violated the OML when: 1.) it voted to add an item to a future agenda
without said vote's inclusion on a properly noticed meeting agenda; and 2.) there
were purported serial communications of a quorum of the MCC regarding an item on
the MCC's April 9, 2019 meeting (April 9 Meeting) agenda.
The OAG has statutory enforcement powers under the OML, and the authority
to investigate and prosecute violations of the OML. NRS 241.037; NRS 241.039; NRS
241.040. In response to your complaint, the OAG reviewed your complaint and its
attachments (Complaint), the MCC's response and its attachments (Response),
the agenda and minutes for the MCC's April 2, 2019 meeting (April 2 Meeting), the
agenda and minutes for the April 9 Meeting, and the video recording of the April 9
Meeting relevant to the Complaint. Additionally, the OAG interviewed select council
members for the MCC (all of the above is hereinafter collectively referred to as the
Record).
