The Case of the Missing Meeting Posting

The Case of the Missing Meeting Posting

In an effort to keep up with meetings posted in the Town of Templeton, I decided to gather the meetings to post for a "Meetings of the Week " blog. I do this for most weeks. I save the posted agendas as .pdf for future reference and link them on the blog post.

Yesterday, June 24, 2017 on the Town's website under "Meetings" 

an agenda was posted for the selectmen meeting on June 26, 2017.

It looked like this:

Agenda
1.Call the Meeting to Order
2. Pledge of Allegiance
3. Meeting Minutes~ 6.12.17
4. New Business:
a. Introduction of New Employee
b. Discussion Re: 06/28 w/DOR (portions w/Advisory Committee)
c. Action RE: Representative to MPO

5. Old Business:

7. Board & Staff Member Comments & Reports
8. Potential Request for Executive Session
9. Adjournment
The listing of Agenda items is those reasonably anticipated by the Chair which may be discussed at the meeting. Not all items listed may in fact be discussed and other items not listed may also be brought up for discussion to the extent it is permitted by law.
THIS AGENDA IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE

 So today's version looks like this:

I took a full screenshot so you can see this was at my computer on SUNDAY June 25, 2017 at 11:51 am.

From page 43 of the Town of Templeton Bylaws :

 Article XLIV - Official Town of Templeton Website
"The Templeton Board of Selectmen  shall designate an official Town website, for the official posting of town business, meeting notices, and agendas of all boards, committees and commissions;..."

So. When I make the assertion that the Templeton Board of Selectmen should follow their own policies, procedures and bylaws, I am talking about the Templeton Board of Selectmen.

Just as I was talking about the Templeton Board of Selectmen in the blog post:


Policies. Procedures. Pins.

Have a lovely day!
