Prosecutor
Bill Feccia concluded this and many
other items discussed were not within the law. But
because the board can hide behind an attorney – one
who wasn’t even there to provide Brown Act advice in
the first place – and because Fleming told the board
he’d run the agenda items by a second attorney (which
the other attorney doesn’t recall), the D.A. would
have a hard time proving the board had both the
knowledge and intent to violate the Brown Act.
Therefore a civil, not criminal, complaint."
