Petitioner alleged that the Town of Dewey had failed to provide proper notice as to the topics to be discussed in the executive sessions of the two November 2011 meetings. DOJ held that the agendas for those meetings failed to specify the topics to be discussed in executive session and as a result, did not comply with the open meeting requirements, such that the actions taken during the meetings were voidable.
