Effective local governance is built on a foundation of accountability and transparency. Posting council agendas on the Town of Gull Lake's website will strengthen these principles and offer various advantages to our community. This initiative would truly transformative for several reasons:
Posting council agendas online improves transparency by allowing residents to preview the subjects that will be discussed at upcoming meetings. Such transparency builds confidence between the council and the community by keeping individuals informed about decision-making affecting our town.
Enhanced Accessibility Not everyone can attend council meetings in person. By making agendas available online, we ensure that all residents, regardless of their schedule or location, have access to this important information. This inclusivity fosters a more engaged and informed community.
Community Engagement An informed community is an active community. By making council agendas easily accessible, we urge residents to stay involved in local government and contribute to decision-making.
Posting council agendas on the Town of Gull Lake's website is a straightforward and effective method of improving transparency, accessibility, and community engagement. The inclusion of transparency and accountability is in the platforms of many council candidates presents an opportunity to progress towards a local government that is more transparent and encourages participation.

Writing a letter to a town council is an efficient way to get your point across and influence local choices. It enables you to express your concerns, share your thoughts, and advocate for changes that benefit your community.
Once our poll is closed, I will check the results. If the majority of respondents say yes, I will send an open letter to the next Town Council requesting that they consider posting the regular meeting agenda on the town website. Once I receive a response, I will share it with our viewers on Gull Lake Events.
