OPINION NO. 2003-01

PUBLIC RECORDS; OPEN MEETING LAW: The
Open Meeting Law does not require the Community
Development Corporation (CDC) to provide to the
public, upon a request for agenda support material,
financial information that has been given to the board
members as agenda support material, if that financial
information was submitted to the CDC pursuant to a
nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement. However,
that information may be subject to disclosure to the
public upon a request pursuant to NRS chapter 239.
The CDC board may not consider private financial
information submitted to it pursuant to a nondisclosure
or confidentiality agreement in a closed meeting. The
CDC is a governmental entity for the purposes of the
Public Records Law. The CDC will need to determine,
on a case-by-case basis, whether particular financial
information is considered confidential by a specific
statute or regulation in order to determine whether the
information is subject to public disclosure pursuant to
NRS 239.010.
