California: Advocates for Palos Verde high school stadium lights claim open meeting violation

The Friends of Friday Night Football filed a lawsuit against the Palos Verdes Peninsula United School District claiming the district violated the Brown Act, the state’s open meeting law, when they abruptly voted to shut down a project to provide stadium lights.

The advocates of stadium lights had raised money from the project and proceeded with the approval of the district until neighbors near the school stated their opposition to the lights. The advocates said it was not clear in the posted agenda that the district was planning to vote on the fate of the project. -db
