Accommodating your tardiness could mean throwing off the doctor's or hairdresser's other appointments for the rest of day. Arrive at least 10 to 15 minutes early.

The Brown Act was enacted in 1953 to guarantee the public's right to attend and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies, and as a response to growing concerns about local government officials' practice of holding secret meetings that were not in compliance with advance public notice requirements.
