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. The investigation of the Complaint included OAG review of the August 10, 2016, meeting agenda, supporting material and minutes, staff report 7058, and written responses to the Complaint from Reno City Attorney Karl Hall (City Attorney). After reviewing these materials, the OAG concludes that no violation of the OML occurred because the alleged closed meeting with an attorney hired by the Council is exempt from the definition of meeting by NRS 241.015(3)(b)(2).
