The Pahrump Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee voted on Feb. 19, 2026, to amend its bylaws to allow the committee secretary to chair meetings in the absence of both the chairman and vice-chairman. Sterling Ripley moved to accept the revised wording and Stephen Hall seconded; the motion carried, and the minutes record the change as approved (vote counts not specified).
The revised bylaw language added a sentence to the secretarys responsibilities: "The secretary shall assume the duties of chairing a committee meeting in the absence of both the Chairman and Vice-chairman." Committee members said the change addresses prior situations in which meetings were cancelled when both officers were unavailable. The committee set no additional procedural conditions at the meeting; implementation falls under the committees internal rules. The committee adjourned at 4:30 p.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for March 19, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
