On April 13.2006, the JS reported that “The Illinois Attorney General’s Office is still investigating a complaint brought by the Journal Star, that the Park Board violated the Open Meetings Act by holding two closed-door discussions in March about its land partnership with District 150.
On April 15,2006, the JS reported that neither the JS or the Park District had heard from the Attorney ?General’s Office about the Open Meeting Violation complaint. Terry Mutchler, public access counselor said she had called Park Board President Tim Cassidy and told him her office was investigating the complaint and that a letter from her office would go out this week.
On Monday, Mutchler explained the investigating process. The letter to the park district will ask it to respond to specific questions about the closed meeting within 10 days. After Mutchler receives a response, she will discuss the situation further with park district representatives. Shortly thereafter, the AG’s Office will notify the park district and the Journal Star of a determination and any penalties that may accompany it. (All this information is taken from the Journal Star)
This is Part 5 of a Series I am blogging as to why certain Park Board Tapes MIGHT have been “accidentally erased.
