The Morrison County Board of Commissioners has a busy week ahead, with several meetings open to the public ranging from a staff appreciation breakfast to a public hearing on cannabis ordinances. According to a public notice posted on the county's official website, the board's agenda includes events from May 4 to May 10.
Of particular interest, on May 6th at 7:00 am, the commissioners will kick off the early morning with a staff appreciation breakfast in the County Board Room located at the Government Center in Little Falls, MN. This will be followed by their regular board meeting at 9:00 am, which can also be accessed via a TEAMS meeting for those who cannot attend in person. Full details for joining are available on their website. Later that morning at 10:00 am, an important public hearing is scheduled to take place to discuss amendments to the county's cannabis ordinance. Residents interested in this topic are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion.
Overall, the week includes a range of engagements that reflect the commission's varied responsibilities, from internal team-building over breakfast to the significant task of fine-tuning local laws governing cannabis. The public's role in these meetings, especially the hearing, is not just welcomed but vital, allowing for a more democratically shaped outcome.
Wrapping up the week, on May 8th at 6:30 pm, the board will be engaged in a Trails Meeting at City Hall in Little Falls. While the preceding gatherings largely concern governance, this meeting seems poised to touch upon the recreational and infrastructural aspects that also fall under the board's purview. For any necessary accommodations to participate in these meetings, the public is requested to call 320-632-0296 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. This proactive approach in ensuring accessibility demonstrates the board's commitment to inclusive governance.
