BUDGET MEETING WITH ALMOST NO NOTICE
Council Members knew last Thursday. But Twp Web Page has no Notice
THERE WILL BE A BUDGET MEETING FOR MOUNT HOLLY TWP ON MAY 20, 2026 AT 6 PM.
Residents know about the fishing tournament and the muck race. But the latest scheduled meeting on the controversial 9.7% tax increase? Its not on the calendar or the “News and Notices” page or the home page.
Why does our township have such difficulty providing timely updates on important meetings?
Notice of this meeting was distributed to Council Members on Thursday May 13th. An update to the web page takes minutes to do. The township is closed on Fridays.
As of 3 PM on Saturday May 15th, the public has no notice on the township web page.
The state Open Public Meetings Act mandates that the township provide a minimum of 48 hrs notice to the public. That means the latest time the meeting should be noticed to the public is Monday at 6 PM.
But such late notice should be avoided. The Reporter emailed township clerk Sherry Marnell about this apparent failure to communicate a critical meeting and asked when the township intends to notify residents.
Residents are advised to attend this meeting. The Reporter will be there and provide updates after the meeting.
