Incorporated County Of Los Alamos Resolution No. 21-01; A Resolution Establishing Minimum Standards Of Reasonable Notice To The Public For All Meetings Of The Council, The County Indigent Hospital And County Health Care Board And Of All Standing County Boards, Commissions And Policymaking Bodies.

Recommended Action

I move that Council adopt Incorporated County Of Los Alamos Resolution No. 21-01; A Resolution Establishing Minimum Standards Of Reasonable Notice To The Public For All Meetings Of The Council, The County Indigent Hospital And County Health Care Board And Of All Standing County Boards, Commissions And Policymaking Bodies.

County Manager's Recommendation

The County Manager recommends that Council approve the motion as presented.

Body

By statute, the Council must determine, at least annually, in a public meeting what notice for a public meeting is reasonable when applied to that body (Section 10-15-1D, NMSA 1978).  This Resolution satisfies those requirements. 

Alternatives

Adoption of a resolution regarding open meeting provisions is required by state statute, however Council could choose to alter the time/place of meetings, the specific dates indicated on the calendar, extend the time required for providing notice prior to a meeting, or make other similar modifications as long as they do not violate the statutory requirements for open meetings.

Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item

The posting of notices for public meetings is a routine duty of County staff.
