Havana Posts Contradictory Notice for Town Clerk Meeting | The Locally Times
A Dec. 29 notice announced a Jan. 6 meeting to appoint a Town Clerk was both postponed and would be held as scheduled.
A public notice posted by the Town of Havana created conflicting information regarding a special Town Council meeting scheduled for January 6, 2026. According to a news item dated December 29, 2025, on the town’s official website, the meeting was both canceled and confirmed. The contradictory information appeared within the same official posting, offering no resolution for residents. ## Notice Lacked Location and Clarification The announcement also failed to provide complete information for public participation. Publicly available records on the Town of Havana’s website do not show any subsequent correction or clarification regarding the January 6 meeting. Town records do not indicate whether the meeting ultimately took place or was officially postponed. Furthermore, the records do not specify if or when a new meeting has been scheduled to address the Town Clerk appointment. ## Town Clerk Appointment Remains in Limbo The confusion surrounds a critical appointment for the town’s administration. The Town Clerk is typically responsible for maintaining official records, preparing meeting agendas and minutes, and ensuring the transparency of municipal government operations. The lack of clear public notice about the review process hinders the public’s ability to observe the selection of a vital public official. The original notice did not name the candidate being considered for the position. Public records provide no further information regarding the timeline for appointing a new Town Clerk or the procedures the Town Council will follow to ensure clear communication for future meetings on the subject.
