GoLocalProv v. Providence City Council
26 January 2024
The Complainant alleges that the City Council violated the OMA on September 11, 2019 when it convened a working group outside of the public purview.
The City Council maintains that no quorum of the City Council was present on September 11, 2019 and, in any event, that the working group, which advises the City Council President on issues related to nightlife in the City of Providence, is not a “public body” under the OMA. In support, the City Council submitted an affidavit from Attorney Erlin Rogel, the City Council’s Chief of Staff.
