Having a schedule is important, but so is the agenda.
I can tell you when Council is meeting 3 years from now because it's already in the schedule. But if I don't post the agenda by the Friday before the meeting we can't discuss anything.
Heck - I had a typo on the agenda regarding date of a previous meeting for which the Planning and Zoning Commission would be certifying, so we had to pull the item and next month we'll have to approve 2 sets of minutes.
This is also why you see so videos of local officials silent when there's an impassioned speaker grilling them in public comments. If a citizen does up to a meeting to make comments on something that's not on the agenda, the officials literally aren't allowed to respond.
