Special Meetings, Public Hearings and Other Notices
Sometimes additional meetings — special meetings — are called to conduct business that doesn’t fit into the regular meeting schedule. For example, special meetings may be called for time-sensitive matters or joint meetings with other government entities. Unless announced at the beginning of the year with the remainder of the district’s regular meetings, these additional meetings require a public announcement of the agenda at least 24-hours before the planned special meeting.
Public hearings, usually scheduled to deal with budgetary matters, may take place in a regular or special meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners. Regardless, notice of a public hearing must be posted here and at the district’s headquarters fire station at least ten days in advance of the planned public hearing.
There have been no special meetings or public hearings so far in 2025.
