Carl DeMaio believes that City Council should meet and do business in the open. DeMaio issued the following statement regarding the City Council vote on Brown act compliance. Background information is below:

"Despite recent actions by the state government that suspended reimbursements for posting public meeting agendas and the public disclosures of closed sessions. I stand committed to open meetings and full transparency for the public regardless of state reimbursement. I strongly urge Council to show their continued support for open and transparent government at Council today."
