On 3/23, the City held a training session for board and commission members regarding the Open Meeting Law and the Data Practices Act. I didn’t attend this year, but I asked for the handouts.
Here is the PDF of the Open Meeting Law presentation given by city attorney Chris Hood, which appears to be an adapted version of the PowerPoint presentation available from the State’s Information Policy Analysis Division (IPAD). (For a more detailed reference, I’ve made a PDF of the IPAD presentation and its accompanying speaker notes.)- This is the PDF of Chris Hood’s Data Practices Act presentation, along with a link to the IPAD Powerpoint on same. Again, I’ve made a PDF of the IPAD presentation and its speaker notes, for those who may want more detail.
Back in January, I took a stab at articulating my layperson’s understanding of “Open Meeting Law: What it means, what it doesn’t mean, what it might mean” on Locally Grown. I’ve put all this together primarily for my own reference, but thought others might find it useful.
Let me know if you have questions or comments – both are always welcome.
