Editor’s note: Since a public notice is meant to inform the public, wouldn’t it make sense to include the most pertinent information? In this instance, what issue is so urgent that it cannot wait until the next regular board meeting?

Everyone has the right to know what their government is doing.
Transparency is expected in all government meetings and daily operations.
Everyone working in the government works for, and is answerable to, you and me.
All laws, regulations, ordinances, budgets, audits and other public records should be freely available, preferably online, for citizens to examine without special fees and paperwork before they can do so.
When municipalities seek bids for contract work, all bid documents should be available online, free of charge. Printed copies, if requested, should be offered at cost.
Agendas should be posted online a minimum of 3 days before public meetings take place allowing interested citizens an opportunity to hear discussions and offer input on matters important to them.
