Unless it is possible to determine from the face of the inquiry that no violation took place (a fairly unusual occurrence), a copy of the inquiry will be sent to the government body in question with a request for a prompt response. Where an inquiry seeks an advisory opinion as to the appropriateness of contemplated actions, the matter may be resolved based on the inquiry and relevant materials. That the complaining party may have a personal or political reason to seek enforcement of the Open Meeting Law is irrelevant to the District Attorney's enforcement of the Open ... [Read More]
