Open meeting questions in Clark County land case
County Commissioner David Canter urged Clark County Administrator Richard Bunker to seek whether elected boards must confer with their attorneys in open sessions. Las Vegas Valley Water District counsel Frank Rittenhouse argued such talks are open but unethical, as the open meeting law requires. The board discussed a 33 acre Mojave Road parcel owned by Ernest Becker, valued at 499 500, with Becker seeking more and a long lawsuit. The board voted 6 0 to abandon the claim.
