BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota attorney general says the city council in Bisbee broke the law regarding a meeting with a city employee who was fired.
The council voted at a regular meeting to terminate the employee’s contract. Since the employee was not at the meeting, the council arranged a second meeting to tell him about the decision. The council did not provide notice or take minutes of the special meeting.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says personnel issues are public business because they relate to the performance of a government function and use of public funds.
The city was ordered to create detailed minutes of the special meeting.
