OM 19-33 Langseth v. Rhode Island Airport Corporation – No Violation

The Complainant alleged that RIAC violated the OMA because its agendas for two meetings contained an executive session item that did not cite to a subdivision of R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-5(a) as a basis for convening into executive session. Our in camera review of the executive session minutes confirmed RIAC's contention that the agenda item in question was not a separate executive session sub-topic as Complainant believed, but rather part of a single larger executive session item that cited to R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 42-46-5(a)(5) and 42-46-5(a)(6) as the statutory bases for entering into executive session. Accordingly, we found no violation.
