SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Star News has given the City written notice that it believes the Council may have violated Idaho’s open meeting law when the Council held an executive session on May 24, 2012 pursuant
to Idaho Code 67-2345(1)(b) to discuss personnel. Idaho Code 67-2347(7) requires the Council to respond to the allegation within fourteen (14) days. The purpose of this agenda item
is to discuss whether the Council believes that the alleged violation occurred, self report and “cure” the violation; or determine that no violation occurred and respond accordingly.
Staff and the City Attorney will assist the Council in drafting a response that complies with the statute.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct staff to work with the City Attorney to send a written response to the Star News with a copy to Matt Williams.
