January 8. 2024 Regularly Scheduled Town Council Meeting Minutes:
As an aside, sister state Washington adopted the following legislation in 2014, giving their rationale as described hereafter: “The legislature intends to promote transparency in government and strengthen the Washington’s open public meetings act. The legislature finds that it is in the best interest of citizens for public agencies with governing bodies to post meeting agendas on websites before meetings. Full public review and inspection of meeting agendas will promote a greater exchange of information so the public can provide meaningful input related to government decisions.” emphasisadded. [ 2014 c 61 § 1.]
It is tfa’s sincere hope that the State of Montana will adopt similar legislation soon.
