Request: Whether the Wells County Commission conducted a meeting subject to the requirements of N.D.C.C. §§ 44-04-20 and 44-04-21(2).

Conclusion: The Wells County Commission conducted a meeting during the Wells County departments meeting because a quorum of the Commission attended a discussion related to the Commission’s public business.
