Earlier meeting times in Ramapo?
-
- January

A resident attending a Town Board meeting last month suggested that Planning Board meetings begin a bit earlier than the customary 8:15 p.m. The Zoning Board of Appeals, by the way, starts its meetings at the same time.
One regular attendee of such meetings, a lawyer who represents clients before the boards, recalled that the 8:15 p.m. time began many years ago when a majority of the board members worked out of town. That’s apparently not the case anymore.
So, would earlier meetings be better for everyone? How about a 7:30 p.m. starting time? If the boards kept up the same pace to get through their agendas, everyone could be packing for home at least 45 minutes earlier.
In neighboring Clarkstown, Planning Board meetings begin at 7 p.m. and zoning board meetings at 8 p.m.
Why not give earlier meetings a try in Ramapo?
