Description

A city council member is called to New York on urgent family business. A fire district commissioner is recovering from surgery at a regional hospital. A zoning appeals board member's flight is cancelled, and she is stuck out of town. A local health official quarantines a majority of a county commission for two weeks because they are infected with the H1N1 virus. In each case, these public officials may very well have the ability and desire to attend scheduled meetings of their respective boards, councils, or commissions, and they may have local access to communication technology to permit them to fulfill their public duties, yet does the law allow them to do so? Most Floridians have at least a passing understanding of the concept that the law requires most governmental bodies to conduct their meetings in "the sunshine" and to refrain from discussing public business outside of such settings. However, few citizens truly know the exact laws applying to this concept, and many attorneys practicing in the area of government law have not really contemplated how current communication technology can be used to conduct meetings subject to Florida's Sunshine Law. Interestingly, Florida's appellate courts have not weighed in on this topic, and the body of advisory opinions from successive attorneys general provide an inconsistent and, in the author's view, incorrect analysis.
