Resident urges Marblehead subcommittee to post missing meeting minutes
Summary
Kate Thompson asked the joint budget subcommittee to post minutes for several past meetings (dates listed) that she said are not publicly available, and the committee acknowledged the backlog and agreed to produce the records.
Kate Thompson used the public-comment period to press the subcommittee on transparency, requesting that minutes for a backlog of meetings be produced and posted. "I would like to formally request that this subcommittee produce minutes for the following meetings," Thompson said, and read a list of dates the subcommittee agreed to review.
Committee staff and members acknowledged some meeting minutes were missing from public records and said they would work to post accurate minutes for the cited sessions. The chair and staff agreed that producing and publishing minutes for the listed dates (including meetings on 10/17, 10/30 and 11/17 this year and several sessions from the prior year) is a priority and that joint minutes and subcommittee notes would be clarified.
The meeting later approved the Nov. 17 minutes during the same session by voice vote; staff said they will post approved minutes to the district’s public records and follow up on the outstanding backlog.
