As has always been done, and was done for all the 2019 Council Meetings, West Easton has advertised all the Council Meeting dates for 2020.
Meeting dates being advertised is one of the requirements of the Sunshine Act and West Easton does this for all the meeting dates in the upcoming year to save advertising costs. It’s far less expensive them all at once rather than individually throughout the year.
West Easton normally schedules two meetings each month and attempts to schedule them on the 2nd and 4th Mondays. The second meeting of the month is scheduled, just in case the first meeting can’t be held, or additional business needs to be conducted.
If the second meeting of the month is canceled, no advertisement is necessary.
However, Council looks at a calendar before approving the dates, because there may be a Monday wanted that falls on a holiday.
When that happens the schedule is adjusted to a Monday before, or a Monday following the holiday.
This adjustment of the schedule is usually needed every year, as it was just this past November, when the 2nd Monday fell on Veterans Day, November 11th. Back in 2018, Council scheduled that meeting date to November 4th, voted to approve the adjustment, and then voted to advertise the finalized meeting dates for 2019 – including the November 4th meeting.
Should anyone falsely claim that the November 4th meeting was “re-scheduled” at the last minute, then consider them cRaZy. It had been scheduled and advertised for the 4th, and had never been scheduled for the 11th.
