Council Agendas Online: A Missed Opportunity for Gull Lake
Residents deserve to see what’s coming — not just what’s already happened. Council’s recent reply to my letter was brief: they’ve decided not to post meeting agendas online. While I appreciate the acknowledgment, the response leaves important questions unanswered—and the opportunity for greater transparency still stands.
