2012 Rules of Council In Progress

The 2012 Rules of Council as presently being discussed are available on the Minerva Park website.

There are currently amendments shown in blue that highlight the changes from this year's rules.

Many changes are formality based such as transitioning from Clerk-Treasurer to Fiscal Officer. Some are more substantial involving citizen comments and terminology about abstentions and vacancies on council.

I encourage residents to review them and if you have any issues or suggestions contact your council representatives (contact information available on the MP website) or fill out your comment card before the next regular council meeting begins (November 14th, 7pm) and use your opportunity to share your thoughts.

Council is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the residents. Many of these decisions are about tasks that simply keep our village running, but some have more effect than others. Business items must be handled one way or another, but the manner in which they are handled should reflect the interest of the residents. If you are concerned, speak up. If you have suggestions, speak up. If you are listening, I encourage you to speak up and share your thoughts; council needs to know you care about what goes on in our village.
