How are residents notified of City Council, Board and Commission meetings?
Written notice of the date, time, place and subject of each meeting held by a governmental body shall be given before the meeting. Per the Local Government Code, notice of the meeting must be posted for 72 hours prior to the meeting in a place where the public has 24 hour a day access. In addition, agendas are required to be posted on a physical bulletin board or electronic bulletin board at a place convenient to the public at city hall. Meeting agendas are posted on the bulletin board located in the rotunda of the municipal complex.

A governmental body that has an internet website is required to post notice of a meeting on the internet website concurrently with the physical posting of the hard copy of the agenda displayed on the bulletin board. The actual agenda must be posted online in municipalities of 48,000 or more. Although Highland Village is less than 48,000, our agendas are posted on the City’s website 72 hours prior to a meeting taking place.
