St.Paul: Pioneer Press: Roseville; City cited for Open Meeting Law Violation on email slipup

Click on the post for a case from Minnesota.

An email to one member was not shared with the rest of the council and not made available to the public prior to the meeting with one copy of the agenda and all supporting documents.

People occasionaly wonder why an email sent to one member of government, such as a school board, would be sent on to all board members. It is required and is necessary for all to be on the same page. I just wonder if physical copies of or at least one copy of this email traffic has to be available to the public prior to the meeting. The laws do differ from one state to another slightly.

Why is Roseville important otherwise? Snelling Ave runs through Roseville, and Snelling avenue is about the only north south street that one can use to avoid the freeway traffic in getting to work.
