Review open meeting requirements.
In some circumstances, the Freedom of Information Act and the Open Meetings Act may coincide in their application. For instance, the minutes of meetings properly closed under the Open Meetings Act may be kept secret under the Freedom of Information Act. And, during an open meeting having a discussion of documents that are otherwise exempt from disclosure under the deliberative process exemption may invalidate that exemption. This white paper reviews why understanding the basics of the Open Meetings Act is necessary for a full understanding of these particular exemptions.
