Title:
Policy of The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners - Meeting Schedule Dates and Times (Chair Dunlap)
Summary
ACTION:
Amend Policy of The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners - Meeting Schedule Dates and Times to change the start time of Budget/Public Policy Workshops from 3:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Commission Contact: George Dunlap, Chair
Presentation: Yes (Verbal)
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
At the Board's Budget/Public Policy meeting on February 26, 2019, questions were raised regarding the current starting time of the Board's Budget/Public Policy Workshops. In response to that concern, I'm asking the Board to consider amending the Meeting Schedules Dates and Times Policy to change the start time of Budget/Public Policy Workshops from 3:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. An end time does not have to be indicated because it would vary depending upon the topics to be discussed, but as a general rule, three hours should be ample time, unless it's a Special Budget/Public Policy meeting, such as the Budget Straw Vote Session. If approved, the change would not take effect until the March 26, 2019 Budget/Public Policy Workshop because of the legal requirement for providing public notice of a change in the Board's meeting schedule. The Clerk to the Board will ensure that proper public notification is provided.
