Owensville aldermen agree to move to one monthly meeting and shift start time to 6 p.m.
Summary
The Owensville Board of Aldermen reached consensus on June 15 to change regular meetings from twice monthly to once monthly, shift the start time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m., and directed the City Clerk to work with the city attorney to draft an ordinance for the change.
The Owensville Board of Aldermen on June 15 discussed and agreed by consensus to reduce regular meetings from two each month to one monthly meeting and to move the start time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. Board members said a special meeting could be called if needed, and the City Clerk was instructed to contact the city attorney to prepare an ordinance implementing the change.
Why it matters: changing meeting frequency and start time affects opportunities for public participation and the schedule of city business; the board indicated the change is intended to streamline meeting schedules but did not set an effective date. The consensus was recorded as direction, not as an adopted ordinance at the June 15 meeting.
Procedure and next steps: the City Clerk will engage the City Attorney to draft the ordinance language discussed; any formal change would require introduction and adoption of that ordinance in a future meeting. No formal vote or ordinance text was recorded in the June 15 minutes.
Context from the meeting: the discussion occurred as part of new business amid routine departmental reports. The minutes do not record objections or a roll-call vote; the record states a consensus to move forward and to change the start time to 6 p.m.
