A formal FOIA request would seem to be the only way that such information will be forthcoming. Suggest that we see what happens Monday - they are very aware of the problem.
I seem to remember a case on this specific issue being in violation of Va. Open Meeting law, but don't have it at hand today.
I am sure that we will find time to eat and debrief after the council meeting - no specific plans yet though.
