What may members of a governing body do if an unposted issue is raised at an open meeting? Members of the governing body may not deliberate or make any decision about an unposted issue at a meeting of the governing body. If an unposted item is raised by members or the general public, the governing body has four options. First, the mayor may respond with a statement of specific factual information or recite the governmental body’s existing policy on that issue. Second, the mayor may direct the person making the inquiry to visit with staff about the issue. Third, the governing body may offer to place the item on the agenda for discussion at a future meeting. Finally, the mayor may offer to post the matter as an emergency item if it meets the criteria for an emergency posting. (See Section VI for a discussion on emergency meetings.)
