Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

Budget season

The Savannah-Chatham school system and Tybee Island have scheduled budget meetings — every year, every agency has to publicly review its spending plan and pass a new one for the upcoming 12 months. The budgets typically cover a “fiscal” year that starts July 1 and ends the next June 30. The fiscal year is named for the year when it ends, so these are fiscal year 2025 budgets underway.

To see a local government budget, try searching the University of Georgia’s collection. Cities, counties and school boards are supposed to submit copies there every year. Or try an internet search for your government’s name and the word “budget.” 

As always, if there is a public entity you’d like to see, let us know. We’ll try to add it. This list depends on what local governments offer on the internet. Some publish schedules for various boards and authorities. Some publish meeting schedules far in advance, timely agendas and livestreams. Some do not.

This list starts with an automated collection and is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.

We want to meet your friends! If you like this newsletter be sure to share it.
