Please state below

Cindy Gleghorn, head of the STNC LUC committee handed in a letter at a city hearing regarding a proposed 7-11/car wash that had NOT been approved or even read by the STNC board. This letter was on STNC letter head that the STNC board does not even have access to. Cindy has her own personal letterhead? This letter stated that the STNC/LUC was in favor of this 7-11/ car wash project. This letter should not have been handed over without first being discussed and approved by the board. In this letter Cindy states the Church next to this site was in favor of the project and that was a completely lie which was proven when the Church rep showed up at the hearing and made his opposition of this project known. Cindy Cleghorn was whole heartily against another proposed car wash within our city yet when asked why she opposed one yet supported another she would not discuss this. Cindy Cleghorn later posted a letter on Facebook regarding the hearing and letter which would be a violation of the Brown Act as the letter had yet to be voted on by the STNC Board. At the STNC meeting on 11/26 when the letter was to be discussed and voted on it was brought o light that Cindy had already handed over the letter. Cindy tried deflecting the topic and later verbally attacked another board member which was completely uncalled for not to mention a complete embarrassment to the STNC as a whole. Cindys boyfriend, Mark Segal who is also on the board, joined in on the verbal attack and then also attacked me verbally. Cindy was out of control and all because she was called out for submitting a letter which she KNEW should never have been handed over.

Please specify the exact rule and explain the facts of the alleged violation.
