Q. If the FDD CAC is currently meeting, does it fall under the Michigan Open Meetings Act? (11/19/13)

[CITY] A. Citizens Advisory Committees do not fall under the Michigan Open Meetings Act. (“Advisory committees and the OMA – the OMA does not apply to committees and subcommittees composed of less than a quorum of the full public body if they "are merely advisory or only capable of making 'recommendations concerning the exercise of governmental authority.’”) Open Meetings Act Handbook, Michigan.gov.
 
Non-committee members are welcome to attend these Citizens Advisory Committee meetings to observe the work and to provide comments at the end of the meeting and have done so at the SSWWEP CAC meetings. 

There are no comments.
