A Public Agency's Responsibility Under the "Open Door Law"
Suppose I am unable to attend an open meeting and want to find out what happened. What can I do?
You can obtain a copy of the meeting memoranda. Indiana's Open Door Law (ODL) requires the following memoranda to be kept:
• date, time, and place of the meeting;
• the members of the governing body recorded as either present or absent;
• the general substance of all matters proposed, discussed, or decided; and
• a record of all votes taken, by individual members, if there is a roll call.
The memoranda are to be available within a reasonable period of time after the meeting for the purpose of informing the public of the governing body’s proceedings.
Must a governing body keep minutes of its meetings?
There is no requirement in the ODL for a public agency to keep minutes of its meeting. Minutes of a meeting, if any, are to be open for public inspection and copying. A public agency may not deny access to minutes of a meeting simply because they are still in “draft” form or have not yet been approved. Such records are disclosable public records under the Access to Public Records Act (APRA).
What if errors occur in the minutes of an open meeting?
The governing body may correct minutes of its meetings and make corrections to the record where errors have occurred in properly recording the minutes. Modifications and amendments may be made to entries of minutes.
