Book excerpt: The Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) provides that meetings of public bodies must be "open to the public." K.S.A. 75-4317. The key to determining whether the location of a meeting would subvert the statutory mandate of openness is accessibility of the meeting to the public. Assuming the notice requirements and other provisions of the KOMA are met, it is our opinion that the proposed meeting of the Kansas Dental Board to be held in Kansas City, Missouri would not violate the open meetings law.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 75-4318 requires that actual notice of regular and special meetings subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) be individually provided to those persons requesting such notice. If there is no intent to subvert the KOMA, a meeting subject to that act may be adjourned, recessed or continued to another date, time or place. In our opinion, the notice requirements and intent of the KOMA are violated by giving notice that a meeting will begin on one day and then subsequently continuing that meeting to another day without making a good faith attempt to provide notice of the new date, time and place to those requesting notice.

Book excerpt: Unlike review of a public record in open meeting, executive session review of a public record by an entity subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) does not alter the nature of or laws applicable to disclosure of that record. The Kansas open records act (KORA) generally requires all public records to be open unless a specific law applies to that record in such a way as to require or allow closure of the public record in question. Whether or not a specific document fits the definition of a public record, or is subject to closure under a specific law, is a fact question which must be answered on a case by case basis. K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-221(a) and (b), 79-1437c and 79-1437f, as amended, should all be considered when reviewing a record that contains financial information provided to a county pursuant to taxing authority. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-215; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-217; 45-221, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 256, section 6; K.S.A. 75-4317; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 79-4319, 79-1437c, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 252, section 25; 79-1437f.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b)(1) provides that if a request for notice of meetings subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) is made by petition, notice is required to be given only to a designated person. We conclude that the request for notice submitted for our opinion constitutes a petition for purposes of the KOMA. Individual notice, therefore, is not required to be given to each person on the list. If individual requests for notice are made, however, notice must be given either in writing or by telephone to each person. We note that, if a public body has regularly scheduled meetings, the notice requirement is met by providing a single notice containing a list of such meetings. Additional notice must be given, however, of any changes or special meetings. Under the open meetings law a distinction is made between the requirements concerning notice and agenda. While notice must be f̲u̲r̲n̲i̲s̲h̲e̲d̲ to the person requesting it, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(b), an agenda must be m̲a̲d̲e̲ ̲a̲v̲a̲i̲l̲a̲b̲l̲e̲ to the requester if one is prepared, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 75-4318(d). We affirm our previous opinion, No. 79-218, that a public body is not required to mail copies of an agenda if it can be obtained at a public place.
