North Adams City Council Postpones Meeting Due to Open Meeting Law Violation; Rescheduled for June 9th at 6 PM

The North Adams City Council meeting scheduled for May 26, 2026, was postponed due to a clerical error where the agenda was not posted within the required 48-hour window prior to the meeting, violating open meeting law. The council discussed options to either reschedule the meeting to a new date or adjourn and carry over the agenda items to the next regularly scheduled meeting. After considering various dates and potential conflicts, including school committee meetings and budget discussions, the council ultimately decided to reschedule the meeting to June 9th, 2026, with a new start time of 6 p.m. to accommodate the agenda items and ensure broader participation and transparency.
