- B. Guest Speaker: Joanne Bungert, City AttorneyGuest Speaker: Joanne Bungert, City Attorney speaking on Parliamentary Procedure and Open Meetings Law Joanne Bungert, City Attorney, will provide an overview of Robert’s Rules of Order and the Open Meetings Law. Robert’s Rules of Order is a guide for running meetings in a fair, organized, and respectful way. It helps groups make decisions by following clear steps — such as introducing motions (ideas), discussing them, and then voting. The rules encourage everyone to have a voice while keeping meetings focused and productive. Wisconsin’s Open Meetings Law requires that government meetings be conducted in a transparent, publicly accessible manner so citizens can observe how official decisions are made. It also requires advance public notice of meetings and limits when officials can meet privately, ensuring accountability in how public business is conducted. | reports=1Decision: New Business
