The commissioners found the loophole. UPDATED

There will be a Commission Discussion Session for deer "management" on Monday, June 22, 2015 at the Mt. Lebanon High School Fine Arts Theater at 6:00 PM. There will be no Citizen Comments at that meeting. According to Title 65 - PA General Assembly, the commissioners shall provide a reasonable opportunity at each advertised regular meeting and advertised special meeting for residents to comment. But here is the loophole:

If the board or council determines that there is not sufficient time at a meeting for residents of the political subdivision or of the authority created by a political subdivision or for taxpayers of the political subdivision or of the authority created by a political subdivision or for both to comment, the board or council may defer the comment period to the next regular meeting or to a special meeting occurring in advance of the next regular meeting.

This is exactly what our illustrious Public Information Office has told us.

The public is welcome to attend and listen, but there will be no opportunity for public comment. Residents may comment on any of the issues at regularly scheduled commission meetings.

I will not be attending this special meeting due to a scheduling conflict, but will be looking forward to watching the dog and pony show...scratch that...the special deer "management" meeting on the municipal website later on in the week.
