Call to audience

Recommended Posts

If a public agency has a call to audience listed on a regular basis at the beginning and end of the agenda for their meetings (in effect setting an agenda precedence) can they simply eliminate one of those call to audiences from a future meeting agenda without some form of motion to change the procedure?

"...can they simply eliminate one of those call to audiences from a future meeting agenda..."

It depends on what you mean by "they." If you mean the agency, the answer is YES, unless some applicable statute says otherwise. If you mean the agency chairman, acting alone, the answer is that the agency sets its own agenda, again subject to applicable statutes. The chairman has the authority to propose the agenda and the agency may decide to change the agenda.

As you know, many public agencies are subject to giving notice for everything in the upcoming meeting, so I'd advise asking the agency's clerk or attorney how and why the change was made and agreed to.
