The approved minutes of all city or town council meetings must be
posted on the city’s website within two working days of their
approval, A.R.S. § 38-431.01(E)(2) . In no event should minutes be
withheld from the public pending approval. Minutes must be reduced
to a form that is readily accessible to the public. See A.R.S. §
38-431.01(D). A public body of a city or a town with a population
exceeding 2,500 people shall, within three working days after any
meeting, post on their website a statement showing legal actions
taken by the public body or any recordings made during the meeting.
A.R.S. § 38-431.01(E)(1). Posted statements and recordings shall
remain accessible on the website for at least one year after the
meeting. Id.§ (J). In addition, any recordings and minutes are
public records subject to record retention requirements.
No barn door exception for “if” the municipality has a website.
Cities over 2,500 population also have to post recordings
if they made them.
Expand all that to counties and appointed boards and authorities,
add it to Georgia’s sunshine laws, and then we’ll be solar cooking!
