    Re:   Open  Meeting  Law  Complaint, OAG  File No. 13897-387
          In the matter of Douglas County  Board  of Commissioners

    Dear Mr. Slade:

          The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) is in receipt of your two
    complaints (Complaints) filed on or about January 22, 2021 alleging violations
    of the Open Meeting Law  (OML) by the Douglas County  Board of County
    Commissioners  (Commission), during its January 4, 2021 and January 7,
    2021 meetings, which may be summarized as follows:

          ALLEGATION NO. 1: At its January 4 meeting, the Commission
          violated the clear and complete agenda requirement of the OML  by
          allowing Commissioner  Danny  Tarkanian to exceed the scope of the
          noticed agenda topic related to each individual Commissioner's goals
          and policies for Douglas County.

          ALLEGATION NO. 2: At its January 4 meeting, the Commission
          violated the OML   by allowing Commissioner  Danny   Tarkanian  to
          publicly question the character and competence of two Douglas County
          School District employees without affording the employees the requisite
          notice under the OML.

          ALLEGATION NO. 3: At its January 7 meeting, the Commission's
          agenda item regarding a contract with Reno-Tahoe Construction, Inc.,
          for the Gardner Residence Water Main Replacement Project violated the
          clear and complete agenda requirement of the OML.
