City denied Defendant’s FOIA request for documents pertaining to City Housing Task Force, and Defendant sought administrative review with AG office. AG found that City’s denial of request was improper. City required to comply with FOIA request, as documents responsive to Defendant’s FOIA request concern a matter of public business, as they appear to concern business or community interests and not private affairs. Parties do not dispute that City is a “public body”.   (HOLDER WHITE and DeARMOND, concurring.)
