Morrison County residents looking to engage with local governance will have multiple opportunities in the upcoming week, as the Morrison County Board of Commissioners has a busy schedule full of public meetings—their agendas covering topics from environmental planning to legislative updates. According to Morrison County, the commissioners will be attending various meetings from June 2, to June 8, across the county.
On June 3 at City Hall in St. Cloud, there will be an SECB Planning meeting at 10:00 am, whereas June 4 commences with a Board Meeting at 9:00 am in the County Board Room at the Government Center in Little Falls, as per Morrison County. The board room themselves seen as a hub for county decision-making, will see a mix of in-person and virtual attendees as indicated by the public notice released, directing those who can't be present physically to join via the TEAMS meeting, details of which can be found on the county's official website. For those unable to attend there have been provisions made which are outlined on the site.
Environmental planning appears to be a significant point of discussion as June 5 promises a double feature with the Water Plan Task Force Meeting and the Local Work Group Meeting at 10:00 am in the same venue as the previous Board Meeting.
Virtual engagement continues to be emphasized, with a Legislative Committee Meeting being exclusively online on June 6 at 10:00 am, offering residents an opportunity to dial in and participate directly in the legislative process that effects change within their community; this showcases the county's increasing reliance on technology to make governance more accessible to its citizens. The week continues in an overt dedication to transparency and accessibility, not only through digital means but also through physical tours like the June 7 scheduled Annex Tour at the Sheriff’s Annex Building, followed closely by a TSWAC meeting at the Landfill, both in Little Falls, MN—starting at 8:00 am and 8:30 am respectively, as detailed by Morrison County.
For residents needing assistance to partake in the meetings, Morrison County encourages reaching out for accommodations by calling 320-632-0296 at least 48 hours in advance.
