BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the North Dakota Health Council broke open records and meetings laws by failing to provide sufficient notice of a public meeting.
Stenehjem says the council failed to give public notice of its August 2015 meeting at the same time its members were notified. The meeting date was determined three months in advance but the notice wasn’t posted until 13 days before the meeting.
The complaint was filed by Don Morrison, executive director of the Dakota Resource Council, and Darrell Dorgan, a member of the North Dakota Energy Industry Waste Coalition.
Stenehjem ordered the state Health Council to provide the minutes free of charge to Morrison, Dorgan and anyone else who requests them.
