The Complainant alleged the Town Council violated the OMA when the agendas for its April 11, 2019 and May 16, 2019 meetings failed to inform the public that the Town Council would vote to remove members of the Scituate Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. Based on the parties' submissions and the minutes for the subject meetings, we determined that the pertinent agenda item for the April meeting adequately informed the public that a public hearing regarding the housing authority and its commissioners would occur. However, this Office found that the agenda for the May meeting did not adequately inform the public that a vote removing the housing authority commissioners would occur. Accordingly, the Town Council violated the OMA in connection with its May 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.
