Law. Because the Committee held an executive session without affording Mr. Turner with the
rights guaranteed to him by the Open Meeting Law, the Committee violated the Law.
In response to the complaint, the committee voted during its July 13 meeting to
"repudiate any and all actions taken during the Executive Session held on June 10, 2015 as it was
not properly noticed. This meeting was in violation of the Open Meeting Law." The Committee
then voted to schedule a new executive session for the purpose of discussing disciplining Chief
Turner. This was appropriate remedial action in response to the complaint. In addition to the
action already taken, we order the Committee to provide Mr. Turner with an unredacted copy of
the June 10 executive session minutes. See OML 2014-42. This must occur within ten (10) days
of receipt of this letter.
We now consider this matter closed. Please be advised that this letter does not resolve
any other complaints that may be pending with this office or with the Committee. Please feel
free to contact our office at 617-963-2540 if you have any questions regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Sclarsic
Assistant Attorney General
