So continuing to the next meeting means 6:30 or thereafter. If a Board does not have a fixed meeting time, maybe there would be an issue, but not with fixed start times.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Dan Fortier</div><div dir="auto">Retired Planner </div><div dir="auto">Interim Dennis Planner <br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jun 14, 2022, 5:50 PM Paige via MassPlanners <<a href="mailto:massplanners@masscptc.org">massplanners@masscptc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello fellow planners,<div><br></div><div>I was watching a PB meeting for another town the other night and they continued a public hearing to their next meeting date. They did mention the date but did not include a time. Basically it was just a continuation to say "continued to July 1st" without any reference to what time on July 1st. That said, it is known the PB meetings start at 7 pm but isn't a time required when continuing a special permit public hearing?
