Public bodies may also close a meeting to discuss litigation strategy, but only when: 1) litigation actually exists (not just threatened); 2) an open discussion will negatively affect the litigating position of the body; and 3) the litigant is a private-nongovernmental party. A body may not close a meeting when the parties in litigation are both governmental entities. Per the following link: http://montanafoi.org/access-in-montana/open-meetings
Goly Goly Miss Moly how many times have we been lied to and it’s all on YouTube. Oh that’s right we live in Fromberg it’s a never ending affair of being lied too. Better hope no one brings this up in court as I believe there was two meetings on McKenzie with executive session prior to paper work being filled.
Ug. doen’st this town do anything right? Legal fees are gonna spend fromberg broke!
This is a awesome web site you turned us onto! I do believe the town of Fromberg may have more than a problem or two after reading this! To start with, there was never an open meeting where a vote was taken for litigation on McKenzie. I wonder how good their minutes are in the closed meeting? As they are pretty sloppy the majority of the time! Yes, they’re required to keep minutes although those minutes are only for court.
Fromberg has its own set of rules. Remember ex-mayor Anderson held a executive session meeting at least once for the purposes of Ralph Dawson and posted it as a closed meeting. Non-stop meetings run with errors in Fromberg! Lotsa costly errors in the old Berg…
