Town
of Gray Agendas
Editor's Note:
It
is The Monument's intention to publish material sent
by the Town of Gray as accurately as possible so that
integrity of the information can be maintained.
The Gray Town Charter mandates that the agenda be
published seven days prior to the next meeting.Therefore,
the deadline to receive Council agendas for publication
is and always has been Tuesday noon.
The Council has demonstrated increasing penchant to
change agendas at will, to issue multiple agendas
within a rapid period each superseding the last, and
to challenge the citizen's attention with discovering
the definitive agenda, not to mention discarding newspaper
and Charter deadlines. The Monument regretfully must
now issue the following caution to Council constituents
along with each published agenda:
The
Council's published agenda may not be a true reflection
of their expected work flow. Read with caution and
expect changes.
