A.  Call to Order:

 

B.  Meeting Minute Extension Request, pursuant to R.I.G.L. § 42-46-7(b)(1):

 

1.   August 12, 2025 Regular Meeting Minutes

2.   August 26, 2025 Regular Meeting Minutes

 

Pursuant to R.I.G.L. § 42-46-7(b)(1), “[t]he minutes shall be public records and unofficial minutes shall be available to the public at the office of the public body within thirty-five (35) days of the meeting or at the next regularly scheduled meeting, whichever is earlier, except where the disclosure would be inconsistent with §§ 42-46-4 and 42-46-5 or where the public body by majority vote extends the time period for the filing of the minutes and publicly states the reason.” The rationale for the request is that the Planning Clerk needs additional time to complete the minutes for the August 12, 2025 and August 26, 2025 meetings.
