Subject: RE: Proposed amendment to the Charter
Hi Lincoln;
Please see my comments:
One proposed amendment would require an electronic notice of all meetings
be linked to the internet webpage of that board or commission (or related
department). You can read the entire text of the proposed amendment here.
I am okay with this one. We can put a notice on our hele-on website.
Another proposed amendment would require public notices to be
electronically delivered within the same time as newspaper publication.

Not sure about this. It is not clear (to me), who would be the recipient of the
electronically delivered notice. It seems it may be redundant to the amendment
isted above.
Another proposed amendment would require all boards and commissions to
maintain websites. You can read the entire text of this proposed amendment
here.
I am against this. We can put minutes of meetings on our website, but being a
small department, I am the person who administers and maintains our website. I
have a tough enough time all ready just keeping up and adding and deleting our
transit information on the website. Having another website to be the webmaster
for would be pretty hard for me.
