Jamie and Darren:

Darren advises that two of the directors and he wish to call a special meeting of the Board of Directors for Friday morning at 10:30. The Brown Act provides that a special meeting may be called by the presiding officer (i.e., the Board President) or a majority of the members of the Board. (Govt. Code, sec. 54956.) I have not spoken with the Board President and do not know if he is calling this meeting. I have therefore drafted the meeting notice with a majority of the members of the Board calling the special meeting.

Attached is the notice of special meeting and the agenda for the meeting. The notice must specify the business to be conducted. Accordingly, you must deliver to the Board members and those requesting notice, as well as post, both documents because the notice refers to the agenda in describing the business to be conducted.

The Brown Act requires you to deliver the notice and agenda personally or by other means so that it is received at least 24 hours before the meeting. The Act technically requires you to provide it to the Board members and requesting media. I think that you should provide it, however, to these two groups as well as anyone else who has requested agendas just to be safe.

Darren has also advised that these directors who are calling the meeting have asked that I attend in person. My participation, personally or by telephone, is a requirement for the closed session agenda items because they are based on the right to conference with legal counsel.

Let me know if you have any questions of if anything needs to be revised.
