The Complainant alleged that the Fire District failed to post meeting notices that included the date the notice was posted for three meetings, and untimely filed meeting minutes for one meeting. The Fire District did not contest these allegations and we found that these actions violated the OMA. The Complainant also alleged that the Fire District violated the OMA when it voted to amend its agenda and then voted on the added item. Our review of the evidence indicated that the Fire District permissibly added an item to the agenda for discussion purposes only under R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-46-6(b). Although the Fire District subsequently voted on a different agenda item, we found no evidence that the Fire District voted on the item it had added to the agenda. On that allegation, we found no violation. Based on the totality of the circumstances, we did not find sufficient evidence of a willful or knowing violation, or that injunctive relief was appropriate. VIOLATION FOUND.
