These penalties could include removal from office and up to $500.00 for each violation. Any assessment made is against the person and the not the public body.

Mr. DiPiazza answered a number of questions from the board members. He offered his services to any member who may come upon an issue that they were unsure of regarding either the Open Meeting Law or the Public Records Law.
