Council Meeting Details are Now All in One Place |
|
The section of our website dedicated to meeting information has been redesigned, making it easier than ever to find what you're looking for. The new section is called Meeting Central, with a shortcut located under the GOVERNMENT tab at the top of our home page and in other areas of the website, including the bottom home page links. Here you'll find agendas, minutes, and videos for public meetings for the calendar year 2023 and beyond. Agendas for prior years, essentially from 2014 to 2022, remain available online in the Agenda Archives. A link to the archives is provided on the Meeting Central page. Moreover, two options to view and download the agenda are provided. The "Agenda" link will take you to the meeting agenda where each agenda item is listed with a short caption. Clicking on the caption will bring up that item specifically, along with all applicable attachments. The former is a better option when higher bandwidth and/or Wi-Fi is not available, or if you are only interested in reading about a single or a few items on the agenda. The "Agenda Packet" link shows the entire agenda and attachments. This link may take a few minutes to download, but it is available to anyone wishing to view, download and/or print the full agenda.
The best part is that residents will no longer need to navigate to two separate pages to find the agendas and meeting videos. All meeting information will now appear in the Meeting Central page. Click below and give it a try!
