A notice of intent was filed with the Deputy City Clerk on Sept. 8 to circulate a petition to recall all five sitting members of the city council. The notice, which requires three signatures, was filed by Ely residents Rick Stork, Don Purinton and Chris Lani.
“The way they are operating the city right now, we’ll be lucky if there is any city left in a few years,” Stork said.
According to the Nevada Secretary of State 2013-2014 Recall Guide, filing the notice of intent for the recall petition is just the first of five steps required by the state to remove a public official. The next is to get the required number of signatures on the petition.

The Ely Times: Why did the city and the city’s auditor approach the railroad for information on a day their offices were closed?
Van Camp: We had all rights and our attorney told us that. We didn’t want to cause any problems and be fast about it. We knew that the railroad was closed but we also knew that there would be people there to let us in. Can you imagine what it would’ve been like had we shown up on Wednesday when there were visitors there? We didn’t want to make a production out of it.
