Changes to the way the Hays County Commissioners Court agenda is posted will be up for discussion this morning at the commissioners’ meeting.
On March 12, the commissioners discussed early publication of draft agendas before court meetings. The commissioners directed the county’s general counsel to come up with amended guidelines for agenda postings. The new guidelines the commissioners will discuss today include posting the first draft agenda two Mondays prior to the commissioners court meeting, with a second draft published on the Thursday morning prior to the meeting. Drafts will have a dedicated page on the Hays County website. Once the final agenda has been published, the draft agendas will be archived. Emergency posting of agenda items and executive session agenda items will need review by the general counsel and authorized by the county judge or three commissioners.
The last time the commissioners’ agenda guidelines were amended was in 2007.
