NERMAC delays mission-statement vote and agrees to informal working group on water plan
Summary
Committee members tabled action on a proposed mission statement for the Elko County water plan to allow wider review, and agreed to form an informal working group (staff to coordinate) to speed drafting while avoiding open-meeting-law constraints.
Zach introduced a revised mission statement for the Elko County water plan and requested that the commission adopt it as a guiding framework. Several commissioners, including one who asked for more time to provide edits, said they preferred to review the language before formal adoption.
A motion to delay action on the mission statement was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote, postponing a decision until the next meeting so members can provide edits. Members also discussed forming a three-person working group to accelerate drafting; staff advised that a formal subcommittee of three would trigger open-meeting requirements, so the commission agreed to an informal working group and directed staff (Curtis) to send an email to solicit volunteers.
