Here’s when local government bodies meet and how you can attend

By Echo Day on January 28, 2022

Participation with the actions of local government, and transparency of government bodies, is very important to our way of life.

The Tennessee Open Meetings Act (TCA §8-44-101) requires adequate notice to the public for meetings which are regularly scheduled and specially called. This means, because the public has the right to attend these bodies must let you know when these meetings will be held.

Following is a list of regularly-scheduled meetings in Tipton County. Since the pandemic began several cities have began broadcasting live, so if you cannot attend in person you may be able to view the meeting virtually.
