17 Oct MEETINGS MUST BE PROPERLY NOTICED

October 17, 2022

Issued to:         Butte Township Board of Supervisors

Request:          Did the Butte Township Board of Supervisors violate the open meetings law by failing to properly notice meetings?

Conclusion:     The Butte Township Board of Supervisors held special meetings on three dates in May and June 2021.  The date of one of the meetings was erroneously posted on the website and the correction was not noted until after the meeting had taken place.  Notice was not posted at the locations of any of the three meetings nor was the official newspaper notified of any of these meeting.  Therefore, the Butte Township Board of Supervisors violated the open meetings laws by failing to properly notice these special meetings.
