While a board of commissioners violated the Open Meetings Act, the court of appeals erred in assessing fees and costs against it because the violation was not willful; the violation stemmed more from the board's effort to avoid the publicity adversely affecting the value of the property and its misconception of the law applicable to bidding at public auction without reserve, than from a willful attempt to violate the Act. Bd. of Comm'rs of Danville v. Advocate Communs., 527 S.W.3d 803, 2017 Ky. LEXIS 501 (Ky. 2017).
