OM 20-20 O'Connell v. West Warwick Pension Board – Violation found

The Complainant alleged the Board violated the OMA when several items on the agenda for its January 13, 2020 meeting failed to specify the nature of the business to be discussed. This Office determined that the pertinent agenda items did not adequately inform the public of the business to be discussed by the Board. Accordingly, the Board violated the OMA in connection with its January meeting. However, based on the totality of the evidence, we did not find sufficient evidence to support a willful or knowing violation, nor did we find injunctive relief appropriate. VIOLATION FOUND.
