Since November of 2008, when WJUSD decided to discuss a building purchase behind closed doors, which was confirmed by the Yolo County Grand Jury, to two recent events, that of Mayor Admundson and council member Greenwald and the latest story of similar events with the Yuba College Trustees, it is clear that something has to be done, either to stringently enforce the Brown Act with severe penalties rather than hand-slaps, or the Brown Act should be enhanced.
In this age of technology, perhaps a simple solution would be to REQUIRE that all closed sessions of any public agency be videotaped and only available for view when a legitimate challenge is made to the content and/or discussions during such a session. This would encourage those participating in "Closed Sessions" to be a little more aware of their responsibility as "Trustees of public monies" and uniquely aware that they are guardians of the trust that voters have placed in them to make reasonable decisions for the voters.
What do you think?
