The Arizona Attorney General’s Office dismissed complaints from two West Valley residents who alleged that two Glendale City Council members violated the state’s Open Meeting Law.
Council members Norma Alvarez and Ian Hugh did not break the law when they discussed proposals to operate Jobing.com Arena during a public meeting on June 28, according to a Sept. 5 letter from Assistant Attorney General Christopher Munns to the city. The Arizona Republic obtained the letter through a public records request.
Before the public meeting, council members discussed the bids during executive session. The Open Meeting Law requires that discussions held in closed-door session remain confidential.
However, Alvarez and Hugh did not disclose details about the executive session conversations, Munns wrote in the letter.
Rather, the council members limited their comments to the bids, which is legal, according to the letter.
