WILL THERE BE A MEETING?

    WILL THERE NOT BE A MEETING?

   
How is the public to know???????

The first of each month I log onto the Town of Lisbon's website and print the Upcoming Lisbon Events calendar.

At the March 4, 2014 council meeting I asked when the Finance Committee meeting was going to be held?

I was told that there would be meeting on Monday March 10th at 5:30 p.m. I asked why the meeting was not posted on the town's calendar?


I was told that it is the responsibility of the chair of each
committee to notify the Town and persons unknowing of meetings.

A finance Committee meeting is posted for Monday March 24, 2014.

I went to the town office last evening at 5:30 pm expecting to attend a Finance Committee meeting, only to find NO ONE THERE! ! ! ! !

Miriam Morgan Alexander is the Chair of the Finance Committee and is responsible for the scheduling and canceling of Finance Committee meetings in a timely manner to ensure the public is notified.

I have missed meetings because they were not published, and gone to the town office for posted meetings only to find they have been canceled.

This is an inconvenience and is totally unacceptable.

If a person is not up to their responsibility, why are they still in that position?
