Guest Artie Posted February 16, 2019 at 01:40 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 at 01:40 AM Is it proper for a governmental legislative body to schedule it's charter-required Council meeting concurrently with its Public Hearing based on fact that the hearing is being held on resolutions also included on the agenda of the charter-required session?

Joshua Katz Posted February 16, 2019 at 01:53 AM Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 at 01:53 AM RONR has nothing to say on this. You'll need to consult your own rules and relevant laws, and potentially an attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it done that way, but there's no rule in RONR on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure just what your situation is or exactly what you are asking, but knowing what little I do know I don't see a problem with it. In fact, I believe it is a rather common custom. Why have meetings when it can all be done in one meeting? My own city council usually has agenda items that require a public hearing and items that do not require a hearing. But they take up both types of matters at the same meeting. They just conduct a public hearing on those items which require one. I think that in order for us to give you any better advice you will need to provide us with more details. btw, I agree with Mr. Katz and Mr. Novosielski that there is no rule on the subject in RONR. This almost certainly a matter of interpreting your own governing rules and law.
