OAG 78-808 is cited to illustrate that while the opinion suggested that telephone meetings might be acceptable in rare emergency cases, the Open Meetings Act and subsequent legal interpretations generally do not support telephone meetings as compliant with open meeting laws. This supports the decision's conclusion that there is no statutory provision allowing for telephone meetings, even in emergencies.
