State Proposes Fine, Training for Milledgeville Officials Over Alleged Open Meetings Violations
Tuesday, April 7th, 2015
The state attorney general’s office is proposing that the city of Milledgeville pay a $2,500 fine and revise its policies after the City Council’s alleged failure to follow Georgia’s open meetings law.
In a document sent to the city, the state accuses the council of holding an illegal meeting featuring a quorum of council members on March 3, 2014, after the regularly scheduled meeting had been adjourned.
According to the memorandum of understanding issued by the attorney general’s office, the council members “continued to discuss city business, and the public and press were not privy to this discussion.”
