Subscribe now for summary of tonight's Common Council meeting!

New York State law requires that meeting agendas and other available meeting documents be made publicly accessible at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

Generally, the City of Plattsburgh releases them the evening before the meeting. PCN then provides coverage of these meeting agendas by the morning of the meeting or as they become available, so you can be aware of the issues to be voted on BEFORE the decisions are made.

This is a crucial part of both being civically engaged and having a responsive government. There is an opportunity at the beginning of every meeting for the public to speak on any agenda item, to help the Council make their decisions.

Don't miss your chance to have your voice heard. Subscribe to make sure you remain informed of upcoming decisions that directly affect you and your life as a resident of Plattsburgh.

According to NYS law, the City releases its agendas for their meetings 24 hours in advance. In general, it gets posted close to 5pm the day before the meeting.

At Plattsburgh City News, we release our report on all agenda items the following morning (before noon the day of the meeting) so you can know what decisions are being made BEFORE they happen.

This report was sent out yesterday morning, before last night's regular Common Council meeting. Only those signed up to receive our Substack newsletter are guaranteed to receive the reports via email in advance of the meetings.

Being informed is the first step in being able to live a civically engaged life. With this information, we encourage you to contact your representatives or attend meetings to express BOTH your support and opposition to agenda items prior to decisions being made.

As always, anyone who signs up as a free subscriber will be gifted a FULL YEAR subscription!
