The Basics of New York’s Open Meetings Law
The New York Open Meetings Law guarantees that government business happens in public, not behind closed doors. For the Homer Town Board, that means giving proper notice of meetings, limiting executive sessions, and sharing minutes with residents. Transparency isn’t optional — it’s the law.
What Is Open Government?
Open government is built on three simple ideas: transparency, accountability, and participation. For the Homer Town Board, that means making meeting documents available in advance, keeping clear public records, and encouraging residents to have a voice in decisions. When government is open, trust grows — and our community becomes stronger.
