South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Meeting -December 1, 2006 7. PROGRESS REPORTS (CONT.) Florist. Eighteen businesses participated; it makes the downtown look festive for the holidays. Ms. Laurent also noted that at the December 15 meeting she will be making a report on progress at the 101 N. Michigan St. project. The developers will attend the meeting and there will be a budget presented for the facade renovations. Ms. Kopala noted that other public bodies post their agendas at least two days in advance of their meetings. She would like the Commission to do that as well. Ms. Greene noted that the Commission meets its legal requirements by posting the agenda outside the meeting room before the meeting begins. Those other bodies which fix their agendas several days in advance of their meetings may be subject to different notice requirements or may be posting the agenda in advance as a matter of courtesy or common practice. The Commission's agenda often changes right up until the meeting starts and may change during the meeting. There is a concern that someone who sees a posted agenda well in advance of the Commission meeting might not check back later to see that an item they were interested in got added to the agenda. Mr. Inks suggested that an agenda could be po steel two days in advance with a note at the bottom that the Commission's agenda frequently changes as late as the morning of the meeting. Mr. King and other Commissioners agreed that they would like to see that change. 8.
