OM 20-02 Bergner v. Town of South Kingstown

The Complainant alleged that the Town's Economic Development Committee Data Subcommittee ("Subcommittee") violated the OMA when it failed to post notice or an agenda for a meeting. The Town maintained that the Subcommittee is not a "public body" subject to the provisions of the OMA and advised that the Subcommittee was subsequently disbanded. Due to the fact that the Subcommittee is now disbanded, we concluded that we need not determine whether the now-disbanded subcommittee constituted a public body because we find that, even if the subcommittee violated the OMA, there is no need for injunctive relief and no evidence of a willful or knowing violation.
