California: Grand Jury says Ridgecrest council violated open meeting law

After investigating a citizen’s complaint, the Kern County Grand Jury has concluded that the Ridgecrest City Council violated the Brown Act, California’s open meeting law at two meetings in December and when three council members discussed a city matter in January at a meeting at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.
