Act, 29 Del. C. Ch. 100 (FOIA), against the Town of Milton (the Town) alleging that the Mayor
and members of the Town Council violated the open meeting requirements of FOIA by meeting in
'small groups of three or less (thus falling short of a quorum) ... on at least three separate occasions
with each of the two companies competing for [a] waste water treatment contract: Artesian and
Tidewater. '
On the day of the last subquorum meeting (November 3, 2006), the Town posted public
notice of a special meeting for November 13, 2006. You provided us with a copy of the notice and
agenda for that special meeting which listed as the only matter for discussion, Wastewater.

Charter for scheduling a special meeting on November 13, 2006 to discuss wastewater treatment.
