Union County commissioners hold public work session and board meeting Feb. 3

Union County commissioners convened a two-part schedule on Feb. 3, opening with a Commissioner’s Public Work Session from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and later holding a Commissioner Board Meeting from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The county posting also noted short Salary Board and Election Board sessions would take place immediately following the afternoon meeting. The county notice provided times but did not specify meeting location or format.

For residents, the timing matters: work sessions typically shape staff recommendations and budget priorities that feed into afternoon votes, while Salary Board sessions can affect personnel actions and Election Board meetings can address poll operations and local election preparations. Community members tracking ordinances, employment decisions, or election administration should look for posted agendas or contact the clerk for details.

Nearby municipalities and counties published related schedules that illustrate how local governments are managing meetings this week. In West New York, the Mayor and Board of Commissioners scheduled a remote meeting for Feb. 4 at 6:30 p.m. The notice states, "The Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the Town of West New York have a regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 beginning at 6:30 PM. (No Work Session) via video conference." That notice, dated Jan. 28 and signed by Adelinny Plaza, RMC, includes a call-in number, meeting ID and passcode, and warns the Board may enter executive session under N.J.S.A. 10:4-12(b) to discuss personnel, litigation or other confidential matters.

Monmouth County announced location changes for its Jan. 29, Feb. 26 and Mar. 26 meetings, noting, "Notice is hereby given that the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners have changed the location for their Regular Scheduled meetings for January 29, 2026, February 26, 2026, and March 26, 2026." Those sessions will be held in the Court Room on the 2nd floor at the Hall of Records in Freehold, with a 1:00 p.m. work session followed by a 1:30 p.m. regular public meeting; the notice was dated Jan. 13 and signed by Tamara Brown, Clerk of the Board. Monmouth’s page also reiterates its practice of allowing public comment at workshop and regular meetings, with speakers limited to three minutes.

Ohio’s Montgomery County posts a standing schedule: "Board of Commissioners meetings are held every Tuesday. At 9:30 am, the Commissioners meet for a work session, followed by an executive session... At 1:30 pm, the Commissioners hold a general session to vote on resolutions regarding county business, which is open to the public." The county calendar shows an exception on Feb. 3: a 6:00 p.m. meeting at the Miamisburg Board of Education, 540 E. Park Avenue, Miamisburg, OH 45342. The county requires speakers to complete a Public Comment Form before general session.

South Georgia counties also list routine Feb. 3 meetings: Morgan County scheduled a 10:00 a.m. Board of Commissioners meeting at 150 East Washington Street, Madison, GA, and Houston County listed a 9:00 a.m. commissioners meeting at the Courthouse in Perry.

What comes next for Union County readers is confirmation: look for the county to post agendas, locations and any remote access instructions, and check whether public comment opportunities were provided during either the work session or the 2:00 p.m. board meeting. Those items determine how and when residents can weigh in on staffing, budgets and election administration emerging from the Feb. 3 sessions.
