12. SCOPE OF THE SUNSHINE LAW Florida’s Government in the Sunshine Law, commonly referred to as the Sunshine Law, provides a right of access to governmental proceedings at both the state and local levels. The Law is equally applicable to elected and appointed boards and has been applied to any gathering of two or more members of the same board to discuss some matter which will foreseeably come before that board for action. Advisory boards created pursuant to law or ordinance or otherwise established by public agencies are subject to the Sunshine Law, even though their recommendations are not binding upon the agencies that create them. ** The term “Board” as used herein includes the Core Committee. The term “Board Member” includes the members of the Core Committee. 10/21/2015 12

13. THERE ARE 3 BASIC REQUIREMENTS 1.Meetings of public boards (Core Committee) or commissions must be open to the public. 2.Reasonable notice of such meeting must be given. 3.Minutes of the meetings must be taken, promptly recorded and open to public inspection. 10/21/2015 13

14. THE SUNSHINE LAW Board members may not use e-mail or the telephone to conduct a private discussion about board business. Board members may send a “one-way” communication to each other as long as the communication is kept as a public record and there is not response to the communication except at an open public meeting. Accordingly, any “one-way” communications (for example one board member wants to forward an article to the board members for information) should be distributed by the board office so that they can be preserved as public records and ensure that any response to the communication is made only at a public meeting. Board meetings should be held in buildings that are open to the public. This means that meetings should not be held in private homes. **The term “Board” as used herein includes the Core Committee. The term “Board Member” includes the members of the Core Committee. 10/21/2015 14

15.

16. Procedures Identify specific geographic areas or study areas/cells that could shift from one attendance zone to another.
