Sherburne County's Commissioners have marked their calendars for a casual meetup, slated for October 7th at Sammy's Pizza & Restaurant located at 19232 Evans St. in Elk River. Scheduled to start at about 4:30 p.m., the gathering is to be purely social in nature, away from the confines of any official county business, as reported by an announcement on the County’s official website. The commissioners have made clear that this time is reserved not to deliberate policies or agendas, but rather to simply break bread among themselves.
The event's announcement goes a step further to ensure transparency, stating that the public is welcome to observe the gathering, although it is highlighted that the space for such accommodation is subject to the practicality and permission of the hosting venue. For those looking to be part of the observers, it’s best to remember to quickly but discreetly make their way into Sammy's—their chance to witness the commissioners in a less formal habitat hangs in the mercy of the restaurant's capacity.
No official matters are set to be on the table for discussion; there won't be any passing of motions over pizzas nor debates on community issues between the bites of garlic knots. A clear-cut emphasis has been laid out: "There is no agenda prepared for this gathering," eliminating any presumptions that policy talk might be served on the side.
Those with inquiries or seeking further clarification for this event have been directed to reach out to Bruce Messelt, the County Administrator. He's made himself available to answer questions via a phone call at (763) 765-3006 or through an email dispatched to [email protected].
