Thanks Doug! This helps a lot. I used the opportunity to send yet another round of e-mails with more specific arguments.

Everyone: let's keep this going! Officials are starting to take note of our action. Please e-mail the following before COB Tuesday! Even if you have already, it doesn't hurt to send another e-mail, following up on the replies you got.

WE NEED MORE E_MAILS!!!! ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT!

good research, gents. i'm going to have a look and send further emails based on what i find.

bump! just a few days left, spread the word!

Spread the word beyond the climbing community, if your work place will let you post up the links and ask your co workers to help out. I work in restaurants and did just this and the response was great. It's an easy way to get more people involved even if they aren't climbers or red rock regulars, every email counts and the more diverse the opposition the better.

bump- the clock is ticking, just today and tomorrow left!!!

Emails sent. Thanks to the people who posted addresses and letter examples here - you made it much easier for me!

It's just utterly ludicrous that in the most-oversupplied area with the steepest decline in existing home prices, someone proposes more. Transaction costs and palm greasing benefit the decision-makers in the short term, then the rest of us are left holding the bag of sh|t they leave behind.

This isn't about providing housing for the populace, but about money making. Write those e-mails and let's save Red Rocks!

The remaining time is now counted in hours.
Get those e-mails going and let's beat this thing!

this is an email response i received:



Mr. Williams:
Thank you for your e-mail . I appreciate your concerns regarding the protection and development of the Red Rock Overlay District. As you may know, in 2003, both the State of Nevada and Clark County adopted laws preventing landowners from applying for zone changes that increased density within the Red Rock Overlay District. The applicant filed lawsuits against both the State of Nevada and Clark County alleging that these laws were in violation of the constitutional right to equal protection under law. In 2009, the Federal Court struck down the State Law as unconstitutional. In 2010, as a result of the Federal Court's decision, Clark County approved a settlement agreement allowing the applicant to apply within a permitted portion of preapproved Exception Areas within the Red Rock Overlay to be planned as a Major Project. The initial step of this Major Project is the submittal of a concept plan, which is now being considered. The Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to hear the concept plan at our August 17th meeting.

As you may know, I was elected into office several months after the Board of County Commissioners agreed to the settlement agreement. I am currently reviewing all matters related to the lawsuit and settlement agreement at this time. It seems that the Board continues to have a great amount of discretion over what is ultimately planned within the Red Rock Overlay District. I look forward to reviewing the concept plan, and encourage you and all Red Rock enthusiasts to contact my office with suggestions and comments.

Sincerely,

MARY BETH SCOW

County Commissioner - District G

one last time...

Last shot- get 'em in tonight and show up tomorrow, folks. I'll post here from the meeting once the vote is taken to let folks know what happened.

Gametime BUMP!

Strong turnout- the chambers are full of red shirts and people against this project! 11 mins till mtg- this project is listed at midway, but will likely be pushed to the end to accommodate public comment. Anticipate a vote somewhere near noon.

That's great!

Any chance you can continue to post updates in this thread as things progress?

Thanks for the live reporting John. I wish this red could be there as well.

I recently heard back from one of the commissioners who is against it. Write them all but specifically write this one too asking for other ways to make an impact with the others.
Here was the reply:
Thank you for your email. On behalf of Commissioner Giunchigliani:
As you know, I voted against allowing the development last year and my concerns have not changed.

Regards,
Marcie Whelan
Executive Assistant to
Commissioner Giunchigliani
