Parkston man pitted vs. city in openness complaint

The South Dakota Open Meetings Commission decided Thursday to postpone consideration of a Parkston complaint pending the resolution of a lawsuit against the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission. Jim Weiss, Parkston resident and former planning and zoning administrator, filed three counts in a civil lawsuit and a complaint with the Open Meetings Commission against the city regarding open-meeting laws. He claims the city Planning and Zoning Commission broke open-meeting laws on Feb. 11, 2010, and Nov. 9, 2010.
