The Atlanta Police Department's LGBT Advisory Board met in private sessions with Mayor Kasim Reed and Chief George Turner last month and two board members are angry, saying the board violated the state Open Meetings Act.
Betty Couvertier and Tracee McDaniel, who were appointed in 2010 to the LGBT Advisory Board by the mayor after being selected to serve by LGBT Police liaison Patricia Powell, voiced their concerns about the closed-door meetings at Monday's public meeting of the board held at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse.
The board met with the mayor on July 26 at his office in City Hall and with Chief Turner on July 29.
