On Friday March 31, Commissioner Jones and a group of concerned citizens met with City Manager, Frank Johnson and City Attorney, Todd Fitts.
The citizens group included Tom Allin, George Carter, Henry Bradbury, and Phyllis Bailey. Ron Munden served as the media representative.
Three topics were included in the discussion:
· How the Open Meetings act applies to Advisory Boards?
· The justification of the City Commission discussing the Open Meeting Act in closed session.
· Why Mr. Bradbury was singled out and unjustly accused of operating without board approval.
Today we will report on the first item. Later in the week, the other items will be the subject of our article.
While there is considerable disagreement of the parties on items two and three, there was very strong agreement related to item one.
