What is the difference between the terms 'agenda' and 'notice'
| "I keep hearing officials use the words 'agenda' and 'notice' interchangeably when planning the next commissioners court meeting. I'm so confused!" |
What is the difference between the terms "agenda" and "notice"?
TA notice sets the time, place and date of a meeting, while the agenda refers to the topics that will be discussed at the meeting. The statutory definition of notice in the Open Meetings Act requires the notice to include the topics to be discussed at the meeting in addition to the time, place and date the meeting will occur.
For more information, see our updated publication Commissioners Court Meetings Procedure and Decorum.
