O'ER THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE...

 


You may have noticed of late that the U.S. flag at Town Hall was in an unfortunately very tattered state. You will be glad to know that it has finally been replaced! 

I want you to know that the Town Board has repeatedly brought up this topic at its meetings. The decision was made some months ago to replace the old flag with a better quality flag as the wind quickly does quite a number on flags at Town Hall. It seems the wind is always blowing there and snapping the flag mercilessly.


"Supply chain" or something out of our control caused many delays. Rest assured, especially veterans, that your Town Board was concerned about the flag's condition and took action. Best laid plans...

QUICK REMINDERS



HOPE ALL ARE ENJOYING A GREAT START TO 2022!



DID YOU KNOW...

...The Township website currently has information about the Open Meeting Law and the Right to Farm in Minnesota?

...Although not required, for your convenience, the Township posts all meeting packets online before meetings? (What is required is one public copy at the meeting itself.)

...You can request to be on a notification list for all meetings, certain meetings or certain topics? Just contact the Town Clerk, Ranee Solis, at clerk@eurekatownship-mn.us. 

...You can access the most recent edition of the Ordinances online at the Township website? Just download. (Eurekatownship-mn.us)

...You can access the Minnesota Association of Townships Government Manual at their website mntownships.org?

...The Annual Town Meeting is coming up soon on March 8th at 8:15n p.m. at the Town Hall? Citizen attendees elect a citizen moderator to run the meeting, approve the levy, and are presented reports from the Planning Commission and the Town Board? (25043 Cedar Avenue, Farmington)

...There is a Public Comment period near the beginning of each Town Board meeting? Again, this is not required, but is seen as a positive opportunity for citizens to weigh in on a topic of interest to them. Your time is limited to three minutes, with no more than 20 minutes collectively for all public comments.

...You can ask a question about a property or issue under "Citizen Inquiry" at both the Planning Commission and Town Board meetings? The most productive way to do this is to ask the Clerk to place you on the agenda and to provide information ahead of time to accompany your question. This allows whichever body it is to research and consider your question. 


Last, but not least...
