6. Discussion of the Texas Open Meetings Act
Matthew Boyle, City Attorney, discussed the Texas Open Meetings Act and defined it as
a criminal statute. Board members are subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act. Items
cannot be discussed that are not on the agenda. Contacting other Board members by
phone tree or emailing other Board members to discuss items on the posted agenda
prior to the meeting itself, up to the number of members that would constitute a quorum
for that Board, is in violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act. Citizen comments is a
one-way participation for citizens to give their side of the story for something not posted
on the agenda; but once they do so, it can not be discussed nor can you ask questions
of that citizen.
