What are the requirements for noticing a meeting?
The public must be informed of the time and place of meetings, both “regular” meetings and “special” meetings, except in emergencies. Regular meetings are recurring meetings with a time and place fixed by ordinance or rule. Special meetings, called by the presiding officer or a majority of the city council, must be announced in writing to all members of the governing body and members of the news media who have requested notice. Special meeting notices must be delivered personally or by mail 24 hours in advance, specifying the time and place of the meeting and the business to be transacted. Only business described in the special meeting notice can be decided (although other business can be discussed).
