PART 2413--OPEN MEETINGS--Table of Contents
Sec. 2413.6 Notice of meetings; public announcement and publication.
(a) A public announcement setting forth the time, place and subject
matter of meetings, or portions thereof, closed to public observation
pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 2413.4(a), shall be made at the
earliest practicable time.
(b) Except for meetings closed to public observation pursuant to the
provisions of Sec. 2413.4(a), the agency shall make public announcement
of each meeting to be held at least seven (7) days before the scheduled
date of the meeting. The announcement shall specify the time, place and
subject matter of the meeting, whether it is to be open to public
observation or closed, and the name, address, and phone number of an
agency official designated to respond to requests for information about
the meeting. The seven (7) day period for advance notice may be
shortened only upon a determination by a majority of the members of the
Authority who will participate in the meeting that agency business
requires that such meeting be called at an earlier date, in which event
the public announcements shall be made at the earliest practicable time.
A record of the vote to schedule a meeting at an earlier date shall be
kept and made available to the public.
(c) Within one (1) day after a vote to close a meeting, or any
portion thereof, pursuant to the provisions Sec. 2413.4(b),
[[Page 363]]
the agency shall make publicly available a full written explanation of
its action closing the meeting, or portion thereof, together with a list
of all persons expected to attend the meeting and their affiliation.
(d) If after public announcement required by paragraph (b) of this
section has been made, the time and place of the meeting are changed, a
public announcement shall be made at the earliest practicable time. The
subject matter of the meeting may be changed after the public
announcement only if a majority of the members of the Authority who will
participate in the meeting determine that agency business so requires
and that no earlier announcement of the change was possible. When such a
change in subject matter is approved, a public announcement of the
change shall be made at the earliest practicable time. A record of the
vote to change the subject matter of the meeting shall be kept and made
available to the public.
(e) All announcements or changes thereto issued pursuant to the
provisions of paragraphs (b) and (d) of this section or pursuant to the
provisions of Sec. 2413.5(d) shall be submitted for publication in the
Federal Register immediately following their release to the public.
(f) Announcements of meetings made pursuant to the provisions of
this section shall be made publicly available by the Executive Director.
