Seems so, when they concocted two new positions in the city clerk’s office;
The council approved the new jobs last week. The items, however, were not on the council’s agenda. The council added them during the meeting and then voted to approve them, despite an ordinance that precludes the council from adding and then voting on matters unless it’s an emergency.
State law requires public bodies to post agendas at least 24 hours in advance. The council also was accused of violating the state’s open meetings law when it fired Owen.
Jen Holsen goes into more detail about the topic, and I highly recommend you read her analysis/commentary on the topic. (Both Friday posts).
