Things to Remember
- An open meeting is considered filed late if it does not meet the seven day filing deadline. The seven day requirement does not include the day you file the meeting or the day of the meeting.
- An open meeting cannot be filed more than 90 days in advance.
- You may "cut and paste" your agenda from a word processor into the web form agenda field. However, the form will display standard text only. Graphics will not display in the form, and special characters (bulleted lists, tabs, etc.) will not display correctly. Do not include graphics or special characters in your agenda.
