Do Township Board Meetings need to have an agenda?
Generally, the answer is no. You may notice the Michigan Open Meetings Act contains no requirement for a township board meeting to have an agenda. Nevertheless, agendas can often help organize the structure and content of a township board meeting to help it run orderly and organized. Furthermore, agendas prepared for special meetings (that are incorporated in meeting notices) can be helpful to ensure that the purposes of a special meeting are adequately provided for in a notice to avoid situations where a notice may not contain the purpose of a special meeting and not allow that business to be transacted. See e.g., MCL 42.7 and MCL 41.72a(4).
