Ulibarri's statement came after local radio station KSFR alleged the county violated the Open Meetings Act by failing to post a notice or agenda for a Community Development Review Committee meeting held Aug. 5.
The station's reporters missed attending the CDRC meeting — at which an attorney hired to advise the county on oil and gas development spoke — because information about the meeting was not posted on the county's Web site, KSFR said Thursday.
