DATED OCTOBER 28, 2015, AMENDED ON JANUARY 5, 2016

Attached you will find the determination of the Attorney General's office that the minutes of the August 10, 2015 City Council meeting did not violate the Open Meeting Law. The Attorney General's office found the minutes to be in substantial compliance with the Open Meeting Law's requirements, but stated that the minutes could have noted that the point of order and motion were made during the complainants' statements, rather than after, and that the Council did not permit Mr.

Dietrich to finish his statements on the record. Although the Attorney General's office suggested that "the Council may wish to further revise the minutes in an effort to achieve complete accuracy" (emphasis added), I do not recommend making any further revisions at this time. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
