Human Relations Commission approves 2026 calendar, cancels Nov. 20 meeting and sets Dec. 11 date

At a Nov. 14 special meeting the Empire Human Relations Commission voted unanimously to accept a proposed 2026 meeting calendar "with possible changes" to handle date conflicts.

Commissioners then voted unanimously to cancel the Nov. 20 meeting and to set the next regular meeting for Dec. 11 at 9:00 a.m. The calendar acceptance was explicitly noted as provisional: the chair and staff discussed the possibility of future changes if scheduling conflicts arise.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed unanimously. The transcript contains inconsistent time stamps around adjournment (09:50, 9:45 and 9:47 are all recorded in successive segments); the record does not provide a single authoritative adjournment time.

No budgetary items, public hearings or new programs were scheduled during the portion of the meeting captured by the transcript. The calendar decision and schedule change were procedural votes recorded by voice; movers and seconders are not named in the transcript.
