State ex rel. Zimmerman v. Avon Lake

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court granted a writ of mandamus ordering the City of Avon Lake and its Community Improvement Corporation to prepare and produce minutes for previously held Brownfield committee meetings, awarded court costs to the relators, and denied attorney‑fee and statutory‑damage awards. The Court held that the corporation and its advisory committee are public bodies subject to the Open Meetings Act and Public Records Act, and that mandamus is the proper remedy.
