Marion County council members discussed whether to hold the council's regular November meeting on Veterans Day after staff said the county now observes the holiday and county offices will be closed.

A county staff member told the council that in past years the county sometimes met on Veterans Day, but since the county began observing the holiday official offices will be closed. The staff member said the council needs to decide whether to meet on that day or to move the meeting; they said they were "in favor" of meeting but noted that many veterans programs already are scheduled on that date. The council did not record a formal motion or vote in the excerpt; staff suggested the option of issuing a special call if the council chooses to meet.

Council members and staff also discussed the need to post any special meeting in advance to satisfy public-notice requirements. No final scheduling decision was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
