Former city employee brought action against city and city officials, alleging that interim officials’ appointments violated the Open Meetings Act (OMA), and seeking reinstatement, expungement of her personnel record, attorney fees and expenses of litigation, a writ of quo warranto, and the imposition of civil penalties.
The Superior Court granted city’s and officials’ motion for summary judgment. Employee appealed, and the case was transferred to the Supreme Court and back to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. Defendants petitioned for certiorari review.
The Supreme Court of Georgia held that the Open Meetings Act did not mandate a vote by city council on the interim appointment of a city manager.
