Facts: Section 2.03.050(E) of the Revere Revised Ordinances provides an exception to the City's open meeting requirements for sub-committees of the School Committee that meet before 5:00 p.m. Chapter 402 of the Acts of 1965 provides that employees of the City of Revere shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard at any meeting of a public body concerning a matter being considered by the public body in which they have an interest. Question: If a sub-committee of the School Committee convenes pursuant to the exception set forth in Section 2.03.050(E) at a time when interested City employees are unable to attend due to their work schedules, would such a meeting violate Chapter 402 of the Acts of 1965 on the grounds that the affected employees were not afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard?Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:25:16 GMT
