Re: Was the E-911 meeting "legal"?

Quote:
The Alabama Sunshine Law does require that reasonable notice be given to the public of those meetings that must be open to the public; the public must be given a reasonable opportunity to be aware of the place where the notice will be posted; and the time, date, and place of the meeting must be available to the public upon reasonable inquiry, and when special circumstances arise or when a meeting is called for truly emergency purposes, the agency holding the meeting should so declare and should give such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, unless the giving of such notice is impractical or impossible. Slawson v. Alabama Forestry Com'n, 631 So.2d 953 (Ala.1994).
Here's what I found about "notice." This provision applies to "Alabama Public Service Commission; school commissions of Alabama; board of adjustment; state or county tax commissions; any county commission, any city commission or municipal council; or any other body, board or commission in the state charged with the duty of disbursing any funds belonging to the state, county or municipality, or board, body, or commission to which is delegated any legislative or judicial function." I'm guessing that the E-911 group fits in this description.

Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights for it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh how we danced away all of the lights we've always been out of our minds
