On April 2, 2010 a comment to one of the posts on this site questioned why the minutes for city meetings held in March were not posted to the City of Alexandria web site.
Some dialog ensued that jumped to conclusions concerning the reasons.
Karen Barto, the City of Alexandria Clerk, responded to set the record straight saying “that minutes are not public record until they are presented at a meeting thus, the minutes cannot be posted until they are made a matter of public record. For instance, March 4th Council minutes were not presented or made public record until the April 1st meeting since the March 18th meeting was cancelled. Then they are to be signed, scanned and put on the website.”
Thanks to Ms. Barto for clearing up any confusion anyone may have had concerning this topic.
