A visiting judge has given attorneys until Aug. 9 to resolve a dispute over whether Cumming’s mayor violated the Georgia Open Meetings Act in April 2012, as state’s attorney general contends.
Senior Judge Robert W. Adamson heard arguments in the case Thursday in Forsyth County Superior Court.
If attorneys for Mayor H. Ford Gravitt and Attorney General Sam Olens are unable to reach an agreement by then, the judge said, they will have until Aug. 30 to submit supplemental briefs in the matter.
In addition, the judge gave them the option of mediation if either side deemed it necessary.
