It mandates posting online at least two weeks in advance: the meeting date, time, and location; one week in advance: a detailed description of all agenda items; and a sign-up list for public comment. These requirements apply directly to the Thruway Authority's board meetings and affect anyone wishing to attend or participate in public comment. The notice, description, and sign-up list must be published prominently on the Authority's website.
