The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested
case on January 17, 2003, at which time the complainants and the respondent
appeared. At an informal conference held after opening the January 17, 2003
hearing, the complainants and the respondent reached the terms of an agreement
in resolution of this contested case.
The parties
agreed that: 1) the respondent regrets not permitting the members of the
public (including the complainants) to accompany the respondent on a site tour
of the RHAM High School/RHAM Middle School building project on August 29,
2002; 2) the respondent agrees to permit complainants and other members of the
public to attend future site tours sponsored by the respondent for its entire
membership, subject only to limitations reasonably necessary to satisfy
physical and safety concerns; and finally, 3) the complainants informed the
Commission that, as part of this agreement, they wished to withdraw their
complaint.
The Commission warmly commends both the complainants and the respondent
for working successfully to negotiate a non-litigated settlement of their
earlier differences.
The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the
basis of the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:
1. The complaint is hereby
dismissed.
Approved by Order of the Freedom of
Information Commission at its regular meeting of February 26, 2003.
