Town planner Maureen O'Mara shows residents how to find council agendas and meeting videos
Summary
Town planner Maureen O'Mara led a public session demonstrating how to use the Cape Elizabeth website to find meeting agendas, supporting documents, minutes and recorded videos so residents can follow local government actions.
Maureen O'Mara, the town planner for Cape Elizabeth, led a public primer on using the town website to find meeting agendas, supporting documents and recorded meetings. "Democracy relies on an informed citizenry," O'Mara said as she demonstrated the meetings calendar and how to open agendas and videos for specific dates.
O'Mara walked through the meetings calendar and an example town council agenda, explaining that agendas and many supporting documents are hyperlinked so residents can review the materials posted in advance. She said videotaped meetings are typically posted within a couple of days and that minutes and videos allow people who could not attend to see what occurred. O'Mara also credited Town Clerk Deb Lane for maintaining agendas and linked documents.
