AG notice of open-meetings complaint raised; resident asks commission to suspend community center expansion
Summary
City legal counsel told the Tioga commission she received notification from the Office of the Attorney General about a complaint alleging open-meetings violations in 2022; during new business Bob Skarphol asked commissioners to suspend the Community Center Expansion, but no motion was made.
Legal counsel Elizabeth Pendlay told the commission she had received notification from the Office of the Attorney General regarding a complaint filed by Robert Harms alleging violations of open-meeting laws in 2022; she said the auditor would issue corrections and an amended agenda, including executive session notes, to resolve the matter.
During new business, community member Bob Skarphol handed a packet from the Attorney General and asked the commission to suspend the Community Center Expansion. The commission discussed Skarphol’s request but took no motion to suspend the project.
No formal votes or directives to suspend the expansion appear in the minutes; Pendlay indicated the auditor will amend the minutes and attach executive session notes as required by the Attorney General’s guidance. The record shows the matter remains under administrative correction rather than a policy action by the commission.
