If the county attorney will not issue an opinion, the county auditor may then request one from the Office of the Attorney General. If your county auditor refuses to submit your opinion request, you may wish to approach another authorized requestor for assistance. Other authorized requestors include the Governor, the head of a department of state government, the head or board of a state penal institution, regent or trustee of a state educational institution, and a committee of a house of the state legislature. You may get the best response by approaching either your state senator or representative about the possibility of submitting an opinion request on your behalf. It is possible that the issue that you are seeking an opinion on has already been addressed.
All opinions are searchable by keyword.
I don't think our local officials are following the law. The Open Meetings Act applies when a quorum of a governmental body meets for the purpose of discussing public business. However, it does not apply to purely social gatherings or training sessions when public business is not discussed. A quorum is generally considered to be a majority of members of the governmental body, although some city charters may define it as more than a majority. Under the Open Meetings Act, a governmental body must post a notice that a meeting is going to be held to discuss and act upon public business.
