Sweetwater County Commissioners unknowingly violated the Wyoming’s open meetings law

The Sweetwater County Commissioners unknowingly violated the Wyoming’s open meetings law when three of the commissioners attended a board meeting at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County last week.
Commissioner Reid West asked for clarification of the act during the commissioners’ meeting Tuesday.
West, along with Commissioners Wally Johnson and John Kolb, attended the hospital board meeting unaware of the others’ plan to attend. Cliff Boevers from the Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office said the group violated the act because the three were technically a quorum attending the meeting.
Kolb said his intent for attending the meeting was to show support to the hospital because he wants to help make the hospital more successful -- a sentiment Johnson echoed.
