        Re:   Open   Meeting Law  Complaint, AG  File No. 15-138, Smith Valley Park &
              Recreation Board

  Dear Mr. Cosner;

        This Open  Meeting  Law  (OML)  complaint  alleges the Smith Valley Park  and
  Recreation Board (Board)  failed to comply with the OML requirement  that supporting
  materials be provided to requesters. It is also alleged the Board has failed to provide
  Mr. David Cosner  a  copy of the Board  Treasurer's monthly  report, and Treasurer's
  backup material for the Board's meeting of December 8, 2014.

        We   have  contacted  the Lyon  County   District Attorney's office which also
  investigated this complaint to determine whether there were problems with Board's OML
  compliance.

        The Attorney  General has jurisdiction to investigate allegations of violations of
  NRS  Chapter 241, the Open  Meeting Law.  This office may seek civil remedies against
  public bodies, including injunctive relief, to require compliance with the OML, or to
  prevent violations of the OML. A criminal misdemeanor penalty and a monetary penalty
  for violations of the OML are also authorized relief against individuals in any court of
  competent jurisdiction. NRS 241.037; NRS 241.040.
