Re: Open Meeting Law Complaint, A.G. File No. 13897-369
Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team and the Multi Agency Coordinating
Committee
Dear Mr. Flaherty,
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is in receipt of your com-
plaint alleging violations of the Nevada Open Meeting Law (OML) by the Ta-
hoe Fire and Fuels Team (TFFT) and the Multi Agency Coordinating Com-
mittee (MACC) (Complaint). The violation(s) alleged in your Complaint, in
summary, assert that the TFFT and the MACC are public bodies and have
been violating the OML by not operating as such. Specifically, you allege the
TFFT and MACC are violating the OML by failing to properly notice meet-
ings with a clear and complete agenda and failing to maintain minutes of
their meetings.
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 re-
viewed your Complaint and its attachments, the TFFT/MACC's response and
its attachments (Response), TFFT/MACC's response to supplemental ques-
tions issued by the OAG (Response Supplement), and the Emergency Califor-
nia-Nevada Tahoe Basin Fire Commission Report, that was issued in May of
2008 (Report). These documents are collectively herein referred to as the
Record.
For the reasons stated below, upon review of the Record, the OAG con-
cludes that neither the TFFT nor the MACC are public bodies and therefore
have not violated the OML.
