Ed note–Sounds like Hammer flats was just one of the topics and that was not a legal matter.

My understanding in mid July was that the meeting dealt largely, but not exclusively, with issues surrounding a pending application for a large, high density real estate development, in an area of the east Boise foothills known as Hammer Flat.

As to whether or not someone is telling the truth, the Commissioners have some confessions to make. Namely, in their response to the AG’s charges they proclaim their innocence, in part, because, “The subject notes (of the meeting) have not been withheld from public inspection in any way, as best reflected by the fact they are an actual attachment to plaintiff’s complaint”

The trouble with the commissioner’s statement is that, before filing my complaint with the Ada County prosecutors office, my requests to see minutes of the meeting were declined by several members fo the commission staff and two of the commissioners.

The claim that they are innocent of having an illegally secret meeting because, once charges were filed, they willingly provided minutes of the meeting to the investigator, is laughable.
