Planning commission sets new meeting start time of 6:30 p.m., effective in August
Summary
Commission voted unanimously June 11 to move its regular start time from 7 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the change to take effect in August to allow notice and schedule adjustments.
The East Lansing Planning Commission voted unanimously June 11 to change its regular meeting start time from 7 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with the new schedule effective beginning in August to allow staff and the public time to adjust. The motion passed without recorded opposition after commissioners discussed staff operational needs and member scheduling preferences.
Planning staff said the audiovisual team that records and streams meetings can support an earlier start, though staff recommended delaying implementation until August to ensure adequate public notice. Commissioners said a 6:30 start was workable; a small number of commissioners had said 7 p.m. is personally preferable but could accommodate an earlier time.
The commission agreed the earlier start should be implemented with notice to the public and posted meeting schedules.
Whatnext: Staff will publish the revised start time and implement it beginning in August.
