To editor.
Re government meetings.
I believe you omitted one meeting for Wed Jan 11.
Public Safety building study committee , with abutters and
Golfers.
At 7 at cordaville hall.
Not certain , but have it written into calendar.
Trying to be helpful
Meetings are under a different post. (Click here.) But the meeting you are referring to isn’t a Public Safety Committee meeting. It is the St. Mark’s Golf Course Master Plan Committee. And I did list it even though the meeting and agenda had yet to be posted on the Town website. The committee informed me of their schedule for several weeks, so I was aware it would be taking place.
Since then, the agenda was posted. You can see that here.
