At the Sept. 25 special meeting the Keene City Council agreed informally to cancel its Oct. 2 meeting, tentatively hold a meeting on Oct. 16 if business requires it, and set the next regular meeting for Nov. 6.

Council members said they wanted to give city staff and the manager time to finalize work in progress and to avoid meeting when they were not prepared to present solutions. One council member suggested penciling Oct. 16 on members' calendars as a tentative date; members agreed.

City staff noted the legal posting schedule for meeting packets has changed and that Friday is effectively the posting day under the current rules, meaning members would typically know a week in advance whether a meeting will proceed. The council discussed leaving Oct. 16 on the calendar and canceling it if no urgent business arises.

The item was handled by general agreement rather than a formal recorded vote. Staff said they would post any special meeting if needed and would notify council of any changes to the schedule.
