OMA Advisory Opinion (#OOG-2026-0007) – Condominium Association Advisory Council

On August 28, 2026, Director Allen issued an Advisory Opinion #OOG-2026-0007, in response to a complaint which alleged that the Complainant did not locate a website or any quarterly meetings for Condominium Association Advisory Council (“CAAC”). The Complainant also requested an operable weblink to CAAC’s website, or alternatively, the contact information of the current CAAC members.

Director Allen determined that the action complained of does not violate the Open Meetings Act (“OMA”) because CAAC is inactive and has not convened to consider, conduct, or advise on public business. The Director dismissed the complaint pursuant to 3 DCMR §10403.1(b) because the Office of Open Government's enforcement authority under the OMA (D.C. Official Code § 2-579) does not extend to enforcing the meeting frequency mandate located in the CAAC’s enabling legislation or the statutory obligation to appoint CAAC members. Director Allen determined that enforcement of those separate mandates are most appropriately pursued through Department of Housing and Community Development, the Mayor’s Office of Talent and Appointments, and the Council of the District of Columbia’s appointing authorities.
