Key leaders at Public Meeting Training
Nowhere during Paul Lachapelle’s whirlwind tour of eastern MT did he have so many of the key leaders of a Horizons community represented. Paul was giving workshops on Montana Public Meeting laws and all who attended got “Serving on County Boards, Districts, Commissions and Committees in Montana: A Handbook for Members, Local Government Officials and Citizens”
In the small town of Wibaux on April 30th, 24 attended including all three commissioners, the mayor and town council member,fair board, new nominee for school board, Clerk & Recorder & Deputy, Clerk of Court, Historical Society, planning board, Disaster & Emergency Services and the newspaper editor who was well versed in public meeting law. The biggest concern was being sure not to make decisions without proper notification of meetings. We commend their interest in the training to prevent litigation or cause conflict — or maybe they came for the great lasagna for only $5!
