OM 19-36 Carlson v. Coventry Town Council – No Violation

The Complainant alleged that the Town Council violated the OMA when three Councilmembers met privately with the Superintendent of Schools to discuss the School Department budget, creating a rolling quorum. Based on the undisputed evidence, the Superintendent had separate conversations with each of the three councilmembers. We were not presented with any evidence to suggest the councilmembers discussed these conversations with each other or that the Superintendent served as a conduit for discussions among the councilmembers. Accordingly, we found no violation.
