W. Warwick: Meeting to consider charter changes canceled

WEST WARWICK -- Tonight's public hearing and special Town Council meeting has been canceled because of a violation of state Open Meetings Law, according to Town Council member Peter F. Calci Jr.

The 7 p.m. meeting was set to consider proposed charter amendments, however that was not specified on the agenda posted in advance of the meeting, as required by state law, Calci said.

Calci said the meeting will not be rescheduled.

Short of approval of the proposed charter amendments, the amendments will not get onto the ballot to go before voters in November. Instead, the town likely will convene a Charter Revision Commission next year to examine the full charter, Calci said.
