Town of Newburgh Board Meeting Rescheduled to Feb. 13 at 7 p.m.

The Town of Newburgh has moved its Monday Town Board meeting to Friday, Feb. 13 at 7:00 p.m., citing a shortage of board members needed to conduct business. The change was posted by the town on Feb. 8 as a News & Announcements entry on the Town of Newburgh official site and will affect items that had been slated for the original Feb. 9 date.

The town’s announcement reads in full, "Monday, February 9th, 2026, Town Board meeting is rescheduled to Friday, February 13th, at 7:00 pm. The reason for this schedule change is the lack of a quorum." The notice does not name the official who posted it, list a physical meeting location, or say whether the hearing will be livestreamed or televised. Residents who planned to attend or speak at the originally scheduled session should note the new date and plan accordingly.

A lack of quorum halts formal action, so ordinances, zoning matters, and consent agenda items expected at the Feb. 9 session will either be delayed until the Feb. 13 meeting or held for a future agenda. That can slow permit approvals, contract votes, or public hearings that affect property owners, business operators, and community groups. For people who track board agendas closely, a short delay can shift deadlines for public comment and testimony.

The town posting did not specify whether the Feb. 13 agenda will carry forward exactly as written for Feb. 9 or whether items will be amended. It also did not state whether members will accept remote participation or whether notice requirements under town rules were observed. Those procedural details remain to be confirmed by the Town Clerk or Board Chair.

Coinciding government meetings elsewhere underscore that Feb. 13 is a busy municipal day. Polk County Government posted that its Board of County Commissioners will hold an Agenda Review and Work Session at 9:00 a.m. on Feb. 13 in Room 407 of the Polk County Administration Building, 330 W. Church Street, Bartow, Fla., and that the session will be televised on PGTV and available through Polk County online channels. Polk County contact lines include a main number at (863) 534-6000 and a toll free line at (800) 780-5346.

For Newburgh residents, the immediate implication is practical: those intending to attend, present testimony, or monitor town decisions should check for a corrected meeting location and any livestream or viewing options before heading out. The town’s Feb. 8 announcement establishes the new time, but follow-up with Town Hall will be necessary to confirm the venue, public comment procedures, and whether the original agenda will be heard in full on Feb. 13.
