[Michlib-l] Open Meetings Act question

[James Lenze]

Dave,
See pages 21-23 of this pdf:
http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/publications/openmtgsfreedom.pdf
I do not think it touches upon the use of email between meetings, but it is a concise treatment of the law.  Anne Seurynck of Foster Swift has spoken before on Board members' use of email to discuss library matters.  You may want to contact her.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Open Meetings Act question

Does anyone have a 1-2 page summary of the Open Meetings Act?  I'd like to have a single sheet to hand out to my board members for their Trustee binders; something that is quick and easy to use as a reminder.

Board members sometimes use email between board meetings to keep up to date on issues - this is touched upon in the OMA, but I am still uncomfortable with how far behind the times the OMA lags.  I'd like to be able to put that reminder right at our fingertips.

Thanks,
Dave
