Middleborough herring commission discusses moving regular meeting day to avoid conflicts
Summary
Commission members discussed changing their regular meeting from the first Tuesday to another weekday (second Tuesday or Wednesday) to reduce scheduling conflicts; staff will check town-hall availability and the item will be revisited at a future meeting.
The Millborough Lakeville Herring Fishery Commission discussed changing its regular monthly meeting day from the first Tuesday to another date — possibly the second Tuesday or a Wednesday — to avoid recurring scheduling conflicts.
Commission members said one member regularly attends another group that meets on the first Tuesday (the Joaquin Carat and Gun Club), and that election days had created past conflicts when meetings fell on the first Tuesday. A member reported the town clerk had expressed concern about holding meetings on election days even though doing so is not illegal.
The commission considered several options, including moving to a Wednesday evening (7 p.m.) to reduce holiday conflicts and accommodate members’ schedules. Members agreed to check town-hall room availability and return the item for discussion at the next meeting. No formal vote to change the meeting day was recorded in the transcript.
