Last September, the Ann Arbor Chronicle filed suit against the City of Ann Arbor claiming that members of the City Council violated the Open Meetings Act (OMA). The Chronicle alleged that the City violated the OMA by discussing medical marihuana issues with the city attorney behind closed doors. Shortly after that closed meeting, the City of Ann Arbor voted on a moratorium prohibiting the establishment of any new medical marihuana dispensaries. The court dismissed the claim recognizing that the Council was allowed to have a closed meeting to discuss privileged attorney-client information.
