Wow! Etiquette lessons in Christiansburg. For YEARS, citizens have asked for meeting minutes and agendas to be made easily available, to no avail. Last year, council was finally busted for not following FOIA law and things have since changed -- a little. First changed was providing public notification of meetings, as required. Then it was a public FOIA training session. Then a public notice board was moved from behind a plant to the front entry way. Once a bit of confusion was cleared up, another board was placed outside where citizens could read the information board even when town offices were closed. Then it was eliminating "recesses" for Planning Commission meetings after public hearings and shifting what had been immediate council action to a subsequent meeting. Now, two meetings in a row, the Town Council agenda is being provided to citizens within the minimum three (3) business days before meetings, presumably at the same time council packets are provided to members. The latest agenda, for Tuesday, November 18 at 7:30 pm also sports a new format, with instructions on how council is to be spoken to: To read more of this opinion piece, go to ThinkChristiansburg.com by clicking here.
