OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
OMLO 98-01 Open Meeting Law: Requirement to provide copies of
agenda supporting material pursuant to NRS 241.020(4) Requests to
provide agenda supporting material under NRS 241.020(4) may be treated
separately from standing requests to mail notices of meetings under NRS
241.020(3)(b). Agenda supporting material need not be mailed, but must
be made available over the counter when the material is ready and has been
distributed to members of the public body, and at the meeting.
(This opinion was rendered by the Office of the Attorney General as a
guideline for enforcing the Open Meeting Law and not as a written opinion
requested pursuant to NRS 228.150).

Dear Ms. Bramwell:
As you know, a complaint was filed with this office alleging that the
Library Board (Board) is not providing agenda supporting materials to citizens
in the manner required by the Open Meeting Law.
FACTS AND SUMMARY CONCLUSION
The complainant asked to be placed on your mailing list for notices and
agendas of meetings, which you agreed to do and with the correct disclosure
required by NRS 241.020(3)(b). The complainant also asked you to send along
with the notice and agenda any supporting material which must be provided
under NRS 241.020(4). You responded in a letter to the complainant [W]e
will make available to you, at the day of the Board Meeting, the supporting
materials provided to the Board Members. If this material is not picked up the
day of the Board Meeting, you will need to request again your desire to receive
copies of the supporting materials.
In response to a letter from this office, you also indicated that as a matter of
policy, agenda supporting materials are made available to the public at the
time of each meeting, but that you do not mail out agenda support materials
to anyone.
