THERE ARE VARIOUS LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO WISH TO CONDUCT BUSINESS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. ONE OF THESE LAWS IS THE
The California Ralph M. Brown Act
California Government Code Section 54950-54963
“…54950. In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.
The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.
54950.5. This chapter shall be known as the Ralph M. Brown Act…”

The Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control & Water Conservation Improvement District (MCRRFC&WCID), is one of our local public agencies that we expect to always conduct the people's business in broad daylight and not behind closed doors. We expect them not to violate, at any time, any Sections of the California Ralph M. Brown Act. Official Website: http://rrfc.net/

IT IS ALLEGED THAT RECENT VIOLATIONS OF THE BROWN ACT ARE NOT BEING CORRECTED BY CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS DUE TO LACK OF PROPER TRAINING. (ONLINE AND/OR SUMMARIES OF THE ACTS DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO A THOROUGH ENOUGH TRAINING TO STOP VIOLATIONS NOR DO THESE HALFWAY MEASURES ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT MAY ARISE DURING THEIR ELECTED TERM OF OFFICE.
