During its Aug. 28 meeting, Conroe City Council voted to change its meeting structure beginning in September to accommodate House Bill 1522.

What you need to know

Starting Sept. 1, HB 1522 changes how and when cities and counties must post public notices for meetings, as previously reported. The legislation will change the current 72-hour notice requirement to three business days, meaning weekends and holidays no longer count toward the minimum posting period.

City Attorney Mike Garner said agenda items would now be discussed and voted on at the same time rather than holding a separate workshop meeting as the council has done previously.

Public Information Officer Andrew Yousse said the new meeting times are:
  • Sept. 11, 6 p.m.
  • Sept. 25, 9:30 a.m.
  • Oct. 9, 6 p.m.
  • Oct. 23, 9:30 a.m.
Yousse said both the singular November and December meetings will be held at 9:30 a.m.
