The Essex County Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved adjustments to its 2026 monthly meeting calendar at the Jan. 13 organizational meeting, moving several dates to avoid conflicts with known events and member schedules.

Board members identified conflicts: a July conflict led the board to move the July meeting from the 14th to July 7; a September conflict prompted shifting that month’s meeting to Sept. 15; and because Nov. 3 is an election day, members agreed to meet on Nov. 4. Speaker 4 asked the board for consensus month-by-month and then moved to approve the calendar with the changes: "So do I have a motion to approve the, monthly calendar with the changes of July 7, September 15, and November 4?" The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote: "Aye... Ayes have it."

The transcript records members raising scheduling conflicts and considering alternatives (for example, whether to meet the day after Election Day or on a later date) before settling on the reported changes. No further procedural objections or roll-call tallies were recorded for the calendar motion.
