Rainbolt did not violate open meeting law/Pryor's rights
by Doug McMurdo
Gazette staff
PAHRUMP - The Pahrump Business License contin-
ues to spark controversy. At the final Pahrump Town
Board meeting held December 10, Acting Chairman Steve
Rainbolt announced that the subject of the business license
would not be discussed under the agenda item titled "Old
Business."
Rainbolt,
acting " as
chair in the
absence of
Charlotte
LeVar, out of
town oh busi-
ness, recog-
nized the
need to not
waste time
discussing
the business
license under
that item.
Instead,
Rainbolt de-
termined that
any comment
CIVILDISOBEDIENCE?- NCSO Sergeant EdHowardpreparestoescortA! Pryor away
from town board members. Pryor was upset with Acling Chairman Steve Rahaboit's
recognition that conunents tzgarding the business license must wait for Public Conunent.
regarding the
once controversial license would have to wait until Public
Comment,
• A! Pryor has been an adamant opponent of the license
for over two years. The 73 year old retired welder has
fought for license reform and his relentless attacks regard-
ing the legality of the ordinance is considered to be instru-
mental "in Rainbolt's efforts to place the license on the
November election ballot as an advisory question. How-
ever, Pryor's efforts have resulted in the controversial
matter coming close to settlement. It should also be noted
that voters overwhelmingly embraced the practice of
licensing area businesses.
Pryor rejected Rainbolt's recognition that the business
iicense need not be addressed until the statutorily required
Public Comment (there is no law requiring open meeting
agendas to contain an Old Business item).
Pryor approached the dais where town board members
are seated. Whether or not his action constituted a threat to
Rainbolt or other members of the board is subject to
interpretation.
However,
NCSO Ser-
geant Ed
Howard came
forward and
peacefully es-
corted Pryor
outside. A few
minutes later,
local activist"
Paul Miller ap-
proached
Howard and
demanded the
Sergeant file a
citation
against
Rainbolt for a
violation of
the Nevada
Open Meeting
Law. Howard
refused.
In a discussion with Nye County Chairman Cameron
McRae, in attendance as is his custom, McRae explained
that Rainbolt was "well within the parameters of his
chairmanship."
Pryor was not denied his right to free speech and no
material in the Nevada Open Meeting Law reveals such
was the case.
Enforcement and regulation of the Pahrump Business
License will be addressed at the budget hearings which
will be conducted beginning in January.
In the meantime, Rainbolt has expressed that he would
never deny "AI Pryor or any other non-abusive citizen hir
right to speak" under.the Public Comment item.
