Board Discusses April Meeting Schedule Due to Good Friday Conflict

During a recent meeting of the Evansville Land Bank, members discussed scheduling conflicts for their upcoming April 2025 meeting, particularly due to Good Friday, when the Civic Center will be closed. The conversation centered around whether to hold the meeting on the Friday before Good Friday or to move it to Thursday of that week.

Members expressed concerns about the potential impact of moving the meeting date. Holding it the week before could result in fewer issues to address, as it would create a longer gap between meetings. However, moving it to Thursday could conflict with other ongoing meetings for board members.

Ultimately, the group decided to keep the meeting on Friday, April 11, 2025, despite the holiday conflict. This decision allows for continuity in their schedule without requiring formal action, as it was simply a matter of notifying the Civic Center to reserve the room.

This discussion highlights the importance of planning and communication within local government, ensuring that meetings are accessible and productive for all members involved. As the Land Bank continues to address community needs, maintaining a consistent meeting schedule is crucial for effective governance.
