OPEN MEETINGS

A board meeting is a gathering of a majority of board members in which deliberation of an issue within the jurisdiction of the board takes place. A gathering for the purpose of social or ministerial action will not constitute a board meeting unless a discussion of policy takes place. Meetings of the board will be conducted in an open session unless a closed session is authorized by law or the meeting is exempt from the open meetings law.
