State Act
Section 55
Art. 55 – The managing committee shall hold twelve ordinary meetings in a year, – the first shall be in the first three days of March and the others on the first Sundays of the months of April to February. § 1. The first meeting of the year is meant for dealing expeditiously with the affairs of the month and for the scrutiny of the accounts of the management of the previous year, giving its opinion on the same, checking the balance in the safe and handing it over to the new committee. § 2. When so requested by the respective committee, in special cases, or when the clerk of the comunidade is common to more than one comunidade, the administrator may designate any other day for the ordinary meetings. In this case the clerk of the comunidades shall publish this change in the Official Gazette or in any other periodical of the taluka, if any, and by way of notices affixed, at least ten days in advance, in places indicated in article 43. § 3. The meetings shall be open to public, and held in the building meant for that purpose, unless the committee may have to conduct any inspection in the properties of the comunidades and shall start at 9.30 hours, except when other time may have been fixed by the administrator, for reasons mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In that case the comunidades clerk shall make public the time fixed, by means of notices published in any newspaper of the taluka and affixed in places indicated in article 43, with an anticipation of ten days.
