The Special Charter Review Committee convened a public hearing on Monday, June 10, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. at One Government Center in Fall River, Massachusetts. Vice Chair Dan Robelot chaired the meeting, with committee members Kathy Movich, Laura Samson, Tracy Almea, and Tim Campos present, establishing a quorum. The purpose of the hearing was to receive public testimony on a proposed report, with a rule allowing each speaker five minutes, extendable by committee waiver. Initially, the committee realized they had not formally opened the public hearing and subsequently voted to do so. The motion to open the public hearing passed unanimously with votes from Kathy Movich, Laura Samson, Tracy Almea, and Tim Campos. The committee waited for approximately 15 minutes for public participation, but no members of the public came forward to offer testimony. Consequently, Commissioner Laura Samson made a motion to close the public hearing at 5:15 p.m. due to the lack of public engagement. This motion was seconded and passed unanimously, with Kathy Movich, Laura Samson, Tracy Almea, Tim Campos, and Dan Robelot all voting yes. The public hearing was officially closed at 5:15 p.m.
