Committee advances ordinance updating notice rules and code language

City of Jonesboro Nominating and Rules Committee · August 18, 2026

Summary

Ordinance 26-033 would update Jonesboro code language and extend the minimum notice to the city clerk for special-called committee meetings from 2 to 3 hours; the committee voted to forward the amendment to full council.

The committee forwarded Ordinance 26-033, which would amend Sections 2-84 and 2-87 of the Jonesboro Code to correct outdated phrasing and increase the notice window for special-called committee meetings from two hours to three hours to give staff additional time to notify the public.

Carol noted a redline version is available to track the changes; the ordinance would also clarify the definition of "present" during any period in which the governor declares a state of emergency, change the second sentence's word "will" to "may" in subsection h1, and replace the word "legislator" with "agenda management system" elsewhere in the section. The committee voted to forward the ordinance to full council.
