The deliberations of the body and ensuing vote will be public. It appears to me to comply with the Sunshine Act.

There are several remedies, even under a toothless law. But I'd start by talking to them, especially since you believe the error is innocent.

However, they do not announce at the public meeting that they had an executive session or what was discussed, though it is obvious that it is a discussion on the agenda item(s). Frankly, I don't think the members are even aware that they aren't supposed to do what they are doing.<br /><br />What is the "penalty" if they are called out on it? Or is it just a "do it the right way next time" type of thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
