Agenda Accessibility Advisory Committee April 27

Posted on by

The agenda for the first meeting of this year/term is now posted on the town’s website and contains empty links which to me indicates a lack of transparency and accountability.

I have suggested training in procedure and have raised the issue of empty agenda links with no attachments. I advised then-CAO Simmons of a recurring problem that i previously mentioned. The agenda contains links to no attachments; for those who are interested in observing the meetings, having to rely on audio without being able to read any documents is a barrier to participation and accountability.

Simmons responded, thank you for bringing them to our attention and we will endeavour to make improvements including not leaving links devoid of information.

And it continues with this agenda: I counted 14 empty links.

Nomination of Chair and Nomination of Vice Chair contain two empty links.
