Clarification of the Open Meeting Law The City Attorney stated Council member Kolb raised a question about the open meeting law as it relates to subcommittee meetings. He stated he contacted the League and explained the risk was minimal since only notice needs to be published if it was assumed a majority of the membership would be at the meeting. He recommended subcommittee meetings be posted to assure there was no violation. Council member Kolb asked if an e-mail sent to all members was also a violation to the open meeting law. The City Attorney stated conference calling with a majority of the members could also be a violation. Councilmember Kolb requested that this issue be revisited to assure those concerns were properly addressed. The City Attorney agreed.
