Residents press board on legal fees, executive-session transparency and OPRA handling
Summary
During two public-input periods residents asked the board to keep discussion of public comment on the regular agenda, questioned legal fees and why meeting recordings and OPRA requests are routed through the board attorney.
Two residents spoke during public comment at the Jan. 16 meeting and raised a cluster of transparency concerns. L. Strochak urged the board to keep discussion of public comments on the regular agenda and voiced concerns about legal fees. P. Kalamaras questioned why meeting recordings were not posted online, why OPRA requests appear to be routed through the board attorney, and whether topics were being discussed in executive session.
Public Input opened first at 7:54 PM and closed at 8:06 PM; a second public input period opened at 8:37 PM and closed at 8:55 PM. The transcript records these concerns but does not show a formal board response on the record; several of the questions asked by commenters were recorded for later board discussion under the agenda item "Board Discussion of Public Comments."
