On March 12, 2020, the Governor issued an Executive Order Suspending Certain Provisions of the Open Meeting Law (OML) allowing boards to meet remotely with alternative public access provided. Those provisions were extended by the legislature through July 15, 2022 (Chapter 22 of the Acts of 2022). Further extension or permanent adoption of these provisions of the OML will require state legislative action. Because of public hearing notice requirements, a board’s meeting format must be established well in advance of the required 48-hour posting. As a result, all Board, Committee, and Commission meetings administered by the Planning & Development Department scheduled after July 15th will be held in-person in the location noted on the agenda. We will keep you apprised of any updates or changes to the OML that may effect this. As always, thank you for your time and your service to the Town. 367 Main Street, Hyannis, MA 02601 2 Best regards, Elizabeth S.
