ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION
by
TERRY GODDARD
ATTORNEY GENERAL
March 11, 2008

No. 108-001
(RO8-001)
Re: Effect of an Open Meeting Law
Violation Concerning an Improperly Noticed
Agenda Item on the Validity of Properly
Noticed Agenda Items

TO:   Candyce B. Pardee
Deputy County Attorney
Cochise County Attorney's Office
Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 15-253, you submitted for review an
opinion that you prepared for the Superintendent of the Valley Union High School District. This
Office concurs with your conclusion that when a meeting subject to the Open Meeting Law
(OML) is properly noticed, a violation of the OML during the meeting with respect to a single
agenda item does not render all legal action taken with respect to other agenda items null and
void. We issue this Opinion to provide guidance concerning this matter to all public bodies
subject to the OML. See Ariz. Att'y Gen. Op. 106-003 (stating that review may be granted when
facts have broad statewide applicability).
