Town Council Meeting-Amy’s Notes

February 11, 2020 by Amy Steele Leave a Comment

Before we get into the notes I just wanted to make a point of clarification as I would like to avoid miscommunication and information being taken out of context.

The notes below are my interpretation of what I hear at the meetings for the time I am present and they include matters which I think the public will want to be aware of.

These notes are not fully inclusive of all items on the agenda and are not verbatim notes. If you have questions or want clarification about anything I have noted I would definitely recommend reading the official agenda first provided below as well as reading the official meeting minutes when they are available.

My intent for these posts is to keep the community informed regarding what is happening in town as I know it can be difficult to attend meetings and read through all of the agenda’s and minutes.
