Meeting Minutes


Decisions and discussions from each meeting are recorded as "Meeting Minutes" and retained for permanent record. Meeting Minutes must be approved by council before they are made available to the general public to ensure correct information is recorded; therefore, Meeting Minutes may not be immediately available for review. Once approved, Meeting Minutes will be uploaded to the website for a period of time for reference and are retained at town hall permanently.
