Motion to dissolve all ad hoc committees fails amid Open Meetings Act concerns
Summary
Secretary Angie Lewis proposed dissolving all ad hoc committees to move committee work to noticed meetings, citing distrust and potential Open Meetings Act concerns; the motion failed on a 4-3 roll call.
At the June 10 special meeting, Secretary Angie Lewis moved that all currently existing ad hoc committees be dissolved and that their business be handled during Board work sessions or properly noticed special meetings. The resolution text cited concerns that 'a level of distrust has developed among Board members and within the community regarding committee deliberations and potential Open Meetings Act concerns.'
Allison Brady seconded the motion. A roll-call vote failed 4-3 (Aye: Allison Brady, Marcia Kendall, Angie Lewis; Nay: Mike Goschka, Joseph McNaughton, James McPhail, Kevin Ritenburg). The minutes record the full resolution language and the roll-call outcome but do not show a formal finding of any Open Meetings Act violation. Because the motion failed, the Board left existing ad hoc committees in place.
