Decision 0186E – Los Angeles Community College District (Watts)

Public notice complaint did not state a prima facie case where it alleged (1) a five-minute time allotment per speaker was insufficient to address negotiation proposals; (2) addressing six proposals on a single agenda was burdensome and prevented complainant from expressing himself on the issues; and (3) the Los Angeles Community College District never made public a board of trustees vote on a negotiation proposal. Complaint was not prejudiced by failure of Board agent to include a proof of service in the letter dismissing complaint.
