Open Meetings Law Violated in Richland County

Three Richland County organizations violated state open meetings laws in November.

Southeast Senior Services Council, the Wahpeton Harmony Senior Citizens Club and the Richland County Council on Aging held two special meetings on November 20 to discuss the resignation of the executive director.

The board decided that the executive director would stay and a board member would be removed.

No agenda was prepared and no public notice was posted.

Attorney General Stenehjem found that minutes from those meetings failed to meet requirements of the North Dakota Century Code.
