Posting special meetings

[Guest Donna Squalls]

I sit on the board of a Charter Township. When the clerk and deputy clerk are unavailable, who has the authority to post a special board meeting?

[David A Foulkes]

Per RONR, special meetings are allowed only if authorized in the bylaws (or by the assembly in disciplinary cases), which should detail who is authorized to call them (see RONR 11th ed., p. 91ff).  Whether the Charter Township has other rules in place that may be applicable in this regard, you should check to see what other rules may have authority and what they have to say on the topic.

And if the only persons who are authorized to call (or "post") special meetings are "unavailable", I'd say you'll have to wait.
