WHERE CAN I GET MEETING MINUTES?
If you cannot attend a meeting, you can still find out what actions were taken, because the Open Government Law of Guam requires that minutes of both open meetings and executive sessions must be compiled and made available.
The minutes of every meeting of each public agency shall be promptly and fairly recorded, shall be open to public inspection and shall include but not be limited to a record of all motions, proposals and resolutions offered, the results of any votes taken and a record of individual votes in event of roll call. Insofar as it may do so without violating 5 GCA § 8103, an agency may also maintain a record of persons present at a meeting. (5 GCA § 8113).
Additionally, the governing Boards and Commissions of all agencies, public corporations, and departments of the government of Guam shall provide electronic copies of the monthly Board and Commission meeting agendas, approved minutes, and other attachments and addendums as discussed in each monthly meeting, to I Maga’lahen Guåhan and the Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guåhan no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of said meeting and post the same on its website of the agency, public corporation, or department to which it governs. The audio recording of each meeting shall be provided to the Office of Public Accountability within seven (7) calendar days after the meeting. The Office of Public Accountability shall post these audio files on its website upon receipt of audio files. (5 GCA § 8113.1).
