Examples of "Investigation" <br /> Permitted Interactions <br /> •Confidential interviews <br /> •Site inspections <br /> •Confidential product demonstration <br /> •Receipt and consideration of <br /> confidential information <br /> •Logistical reasons <br /> While investigatory PIGS have a lot of flexibility and are not subject to the Sunshine <br /> Law's procedural requirements the way that boards or standing committees are, it can <br /> take longer and be more cumbersome to go through all three meetings before the full <br /> board can consider the PIG's recommendations. Nevertheless, PIGS are a popular <br /> option for boards, and can be used in different situations. <br /> For example, a PIG could be established to obtain confidential interviews with staff and <br /> report on the general feelings of the staff about their boss. Additionally, a PIG may be <br /> established to view a confidential prototype of a product, or to receive and evaluate <br /> confidential business or financial information. <br /> Sometimes, for purely logistical reasons, a board needs a PIG to do what it cannot do as <br /> a board. For example, a group may be sponsoring a series of statewide community <br /> meetings with the public that the board wants a PIG to attend, monitor, and report to <br /> the full board. So long as the PIG requirements are followed, there are various reasons <br /> a board could establish a PIG. <br /> 12 <br />
