In 93-OMD-020, the Attorney General determined that no violation of the Open Meetings Law occurred when a public official solicited comments and suggestions from other officials concerning a proposed ordinance, but no final decisions or commitments were made prior to its consideration at a scheduled meeting. This case is cited in the decision to support the argument that discussions among members of a public agency outside of an open and public meeting do not necessarily constitute a violation of the Open Meetings Act, provided no final decisions are made during these discussions.
93-OMD-020 was Cited by 08-OMD-162
