Can a Township Board create a committee to review and consider short-term rental policies without complying with the Open Meetings Act?
Generally, no. And, we advise against it. Townships always need to be cautious of creating any board, commission or committee that is undertaking governmental functions that the public body would otherwise engage, such as considering governmental policies and regulations that would impact short-term rentals. Practically, it also can be far more transparent and cost-effective to take a conservative approach and have such a committee operate in compliance with the Open Meetings Act, which can avoid challenges and claims of purported violations.
