Considering that Act training is readily available (OMA Manual & online training), ignorance or attempting to comply isn't an excuse.

These new members of the Open Meetings Compliance Board are all about phone calls to Boards and thanking them for FINALLY ATTEMPTING to comply with the Open Meetings Act.

Geeze, instead the board should have commended the complainant for alerting the county and the board about possible Open Meeting Act violations.
