Local bodies meeting notices must be filed with the municipal clerk with enough time to permit posting of the notice at least how many hours in advance of the public meeting?

Public notice for open meetings must be posted with enough lead time to allow residents to learn about the meeting before it happens. The rule requires that the notice be filed with the municipal clerk so there is a two-day (forty‑eight hour) window to post it in the designated public place before the meeting. This lead time ensures the public has a reasonable opportunity to become aware of and attend the meeting. Shorter notice would reduce public access, while longer notice isn’t the standard requirement, though it may occur in some situations. Therefore, the required advance posting time is two days.
