Section 10.29.1.9 - OPEN MEETINGS ACT REQUIREMENTS

A.Authority: Any meetings subject to the Open Meetings Act at which the discussion or adoption of any proposed resolution, rule, regulation or formal action occurs shall be held only after reasonable notice to the public; and Subsection D of Section 10-15-1 of the Open Meeting Act requires the board to determine annually what constitutes reasonable notice of its public meetings, which shall be done in the form of a resolution adopted annually pursuant to the Open Meetings Act and these rules. A member of the board may participate in a meeting of the board by conference telephone or other means of communication when it is otherwise difficult or impossible for the member to attend the meeting.

B.Notice:

(1) Regular meetings of the board shall ordinarily be held quarterly at a time and place designated in the notice or as otherwise determined by the board. The agenda will be available from the law enforcement academy director whose office is located at 4491 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Notice of regular meetings will be given 10 days in advance of the meeting date.

(2) Special meetings of the board may be called by the chairman or a majority of the members upon 72 hours' notice.

(3) Emergency meetings of the board are meetings called under circumstances which demand immediate action by the board. Although the board would avoid emergency meetings whenever possible, such circumstances may occasionally arise. Emergency meetings of the board may be called by the chairman or a majority of the members upon 24 hours' notice, unless shorter notice is necessary as authorized by the Open Meetings Act.

C.Closed meetings: The board may close a meeting to the public if the subject matter of such discussion or action is subject to a listed exemption of the Open Meetings Act. If any board meeting is closed, such closure shall comply with the specific requirements described in the Open Meetings Act.
