““Homeowners have asked me to help keep progress moving forward in the direction that the community wants, towards a more transparent and efficient local government; and I’d be honored to serve again in that role,” Dent said.”

““The areas I would like to focus on in my next term are around improving the financial reporting, internal controls, setting aside the resources necessary to replace the Burnt Cedar Pool and Incline Beach House, and finally moving forward with repairing/replacing the next phase of the effluent pipeline,” Dent said.”

“We represented to Washoe County we wanted that land for open space and then we go around and sell it to private parties?” Dent said. “That’s the part that’s almost like a misrepresentation to the county.”

“
”And what is the authority of a staff member to do that? What did he represent to the title company to sell a piece of land? How does a single staff member do that? Can he just sell the ski resort? Can he start selling beaches?””

“Unfortunately,” Dent told Nevada Journal, that’s “been the norm since I’ve been on the board. And you always want — at least, I always want — to be as transparent as possible. And if you can’t get access to certain documents — whether you’re the treasurer or not — it makes it really tough. And then how are you supposed to exercise your fiduciary responsibility, if you don’t have true oversight?”

“Dent said he promoted FlashVote because he felt that IVGID needs a function for surveying the community, and that this allows the community to have its voice heard.”

“It’s unfortunate that they ended their contract from what I understand is due to administrative differences between IVGID and FlashVote,” Dent said”

“I saw a need and an opportunity,” he responded. “Plus, I think it could be fun.”
