1. A public body may perform an administrative function in an open meeting.

a) True.
b) False.

2. You sit on your Town Council. It holds a weekly administrative session during which the Treasurer presents for the Council's approval invoices for goods and services acquired under the budget the Council approved in an open meeting. A concerned citizen has told you that these sessions are subject to the Act. Is the citizen right?

a) No, because this session is clearly labeled an administrative session, and administrative sessions are not subject to the Act.
b) Yes, because the expenditure of money is a matter of public concern and involves policy.
c) No, because the Council is administering the existing policy it set when it approved the budget.

3. As a member of the City Council, you attend the Council President's weekly luncheon. Usually, the conversation is purely social, but, last week, a quorum of the Council was present and discussed whether to assign the Council members' parking spaces by seniority or continue doing it in alphabetical order. Did this discussion fall into the category of an administrative function?

a) Yes, because the parking spaces are already there, and the Council is just implementing the laws that created the Council and provided those resources for the Council's use.
b) No, because any discussion about seniority implicates the Age Discrimination Act, which is legislative, not administrative.
c) No, because it's quasi-judicial: the allocation of parking spaces presents a contested case.
