1. Sunshine / Public Records Questions
Discuss the following with your partner and identify any sunshine law violations.
Two Council Members are at a Jaguars game in club seats. The conversation if as follows:
CM 1: The Jaguars are playing well.
CM 2: Yes, the Jaguars drafted some great players.
CM 1: These tickets are great. Where did you get your tickets?
CM 2: From the Council President.
CM 1: How many tickets does the City get?
CM 2: I am not sure but it would be nice to get more tickets. We should look into that.
CM 1: These seats are comfortable, but I think that they are going to change the stadium seating configuration.
CM 2: I wonder if the city will get fewer tickets with the new configuration of the stadium.
CM 1: Regardless of the numbers of seats, I think that more people will be coming to the games with the new score boards.
Would your opinion change if CM 1 were talking to the Mayor? To a School Board Member? To the Ethics Officer, instead of Council Member 2?

2. Tour of Eureka Gardens: The property is owned privately and receives Federal Housing and Urban Development funds.
Can a Council Member, the Mayor, a US Senator, a local code enforcement officer, a police officer, and a health inspector tour Eureka Gardens and discuss living conditions and possible improvements?
Can the Council Member come back and share what was observed with another Council Member and ask for support with the Federal Government cutting off funding if corrections to the living conditions are not improved?
