Description

Determining Reasonable Notice Of Public Meetings Of The City Council (Peña)

Summary

Resolution R-26-63 establishes Albuquerque City Council’s annual “reasonable notice” procedures under New Mexico’s Open Meetings Act. It affects Councilors, committees, City staff, news organizations, and residents seeking to attend or monitor public business. Full Council meetings generally occur at 5 p.m. on the first and third Mondays at the Vincent E. Griego Chambers, with virtual viewing available when in-person meetings are impractical. Regular agendas must be finalized 72 hours in advance, while draft agendas should be posted five days prior when possible. Special and committee meetings require at least 72 hours’ notice; emergency meetings generally require 24 hours, subject to urgent circumstances. Notices must identify meeting details and agenda access, be posted in City facilities and online, and accommodate accessible formats and disability-related assistance. Changes or cancellations should be announced when possible.
