RE:    Freedom of Information Act Complaint
Against City of New Castle
Dear Mayor Klingrneyer:
By letter of January 11, 2010 to the Attorney General, you made a complaint
pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 29 Del. C. ch. 100 (FOIA), against the
City of New Castle concerning several issues surrounding the selection of a new City
Solicitor. On January 24, 2011, you telephoned me and refined your concerns to three
issues. The first issue is whether the agenda for the meeting of December 14, 2010
adequately described the purpose of the proposed executive session; the second issue is
whether the procedures for selecting a City Solicitor were properly discussed in executive
session, or should have been considered at a public meeting; the third issue is whether
FOIA was violated when the executive session was held before the time the public
meeting was scheduled to begin. The City made a timely response to your complaint.
This is the Department of Justice's determination of your complaint, pursuant to 29 Del.
C. § 10005(e).
