The details
Although regular meetings have been held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, they will now be held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, according to city documents.
Bastrop City Secretary Michael Muscarello cited House Bill 1522, which took effect Sept. 1, that requires agendas to be posted three business days prior to a meeting, excluding the day of posting and the day of the meeting.
“I don’t know how long we’ve had our meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays, but they’re changing to the first and third Tuesdays,” Place 4 council member Kerry Fossler said during the meeting. “The requirement is Wednesday, so agendas will be out to the public on Wednesday of the week. I just want the people to know because those are some pretty significant changes.”
Place 2 council member Cynthia Meyer added that HB 1522 also applies to the city of Bastrop’s board and commissions.
The outlook
The new schedule will take effect beginning Oct. 1 with the first regular meeting of the month circled on the calendar for Oct. 7, according to city documents.
