Council agrees major stakeholder meetings should be open to all members to ensure equal access to information
Summary
Following concerns that some councilmembers were left out of a recent Toole Design meeting, the Lilburn Council agreed that major stakeholder and planning meetings should remain open to any councilmember who wishes to attend to preserve equal information access outside public newsletters.
A council member raised concerns about communication loops and unequal access to meeting outcomes, citing a recent Toole Design planning meeting as an example.
The Council established consensus that major stakeholder and planning meetings should remain open to all council members who wish to attend so that no member is excluded from important information. The policy clarification aims to improve equal footing among councilmembers and to prevent reliance solely on newsletters or secondary summaries for crucial planning details.
The discussion ended with guidance for staff to ensure notification and access for councilmembers; no formal ordinance or policy change was adopted at the session.
