Question

Explain why a city council meeting to discuss hiring more city employees must be open to the public, while a meeting to discuss firing an employee can be closed

Answer 1

Heres the sample response :D

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible Answer: Answers will vary but students should realize that sunshine laws require the former meeting to be open because it involves general policies and decision making, while in the latter meeting the privacy rights of the employee might be involved.

Answer 2

The answer is because people should know who is coming into office, but they do not have the right to know why someone is being fired for private reasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s important for the hiring discussion to be made public by the city council since it relates to the use of public funds to compensate these additional workforces. In contrast, firing processes do not relate to incurring funds and thus the public does not need to know about the reasons of the firing.
