Mayor Lizee - Open Meeting Law Violation?

6/28/11

The Insider's discovered a possible violation of Minnesota's open meeting law as documented in the Shorewood Council Minutes of its 6/13 discussion about the LMCC's fiber optic project.

Mayor Lizee mentions that she "...has spoken with some Shorewood Councilmembers..." on the fiber optic project topic. (See page 28, paragraph 3 of the minutes at: http://weblink.ci.shorewood.mn.us/weblink8/0/doc/153850/Page1.aspx).

The Insider recalls that the Mayor ran on a platform that included ethics and transparency. Having discussions about an item of City business with a single council member is OK, but doing so with two or more is a violation of State law. Certainly it's not ethical or transparent.

Happy reading!
