Town Board Meetings

Town Board Meetings are held in the Main Meeting Room at Town Hall. Please see the Town Board calendar or the attached meeting schedule below for the exact dates. These meetings are open to the public and allow opportunities for public comment.

While the Town provides an ASL interpreter, when available, at the regularly scheduled Town Board meetings, we do not for Town Board Workshops or special meetings of the Town Board. If you plan to attend any Town Board meeting and need an ASL interpreter, please contact the Town Clerk’s Office at (585) 359-7035 or townclerk@henrietta.org – requests made less than two business days prior to the meeting may result in us being unable to schedule an interpreter.

What happens at a Town Board Meeting?

Based on the discussion from the Town Board Workshop, the Town Clerk's Office prepares the Agenda and Resolutions for the Town Board Meeting. Once everything has been approved by the Town Supervisor, the Agenda and Resolutions are uploaded to the Town website prior to the meeting. 

The Town Board Meeting is where the Town Board formally adopts all the Resolutions they were initially presented at the Town Board Workshop. A summary of each Resolution is read aloud and seconded by the Town Board Members, after which the roll is called and each Town Board Member votes either "aye" or "nay." 

After each Town Board Meeting, minutes are prepared. Once the minutes have been prepared, they are uploaded to the Town website as "unapproved minutes" enabling residents to view information about the meeting as quickly as possible. The unapproved minutes are sent to the Town Board for review before being officially approved at the following Town Board Meeting. After the official approval of the minutes, they are uploaded to the Town website in a final form.
