JOHN E. SETTLE JR
Council Agenda:
“The Shreveport City council agenda follows a set template at each meeting.
The agenda template reads:
“Call to order
Invocation
Roll Call
Approval of minutes..
Awards and Recognitions of Distinguished Guests, Communications of the Mayor Relative to the City’s Business and Required Reports
Public Hearings
Adding Items to the Agenda, Public Comments, Confirmations and Appointments”
I believe that the Open Meetings Law requires that citizens be allowed to comment on the minutes PRIOR to approval of the council
Can you advise
Thanks
John Settle"
Airport Authority Board Committees”
“The Shreveport Airport Authority Board has committees
They do NOT publish notices of the committee meetings
The Board is nominated by the Shreveport mayor and confirmed by the city council
The Board oversees the operations of the Shreveport Regional Airport and the Downtown Airport
Thanks
John Settle”
Hopefully these opinion requests will be answered promptly by the Attorney General’s office. Even better, maybe the council and the Airport Board will review the open meetings law and decide to comply with it’s requirements.
