Is it possible to get the Lake Buel District Board Meeting minutes posted sooner?
________________________________
That needs to be discussed with the Lake Buel Distric Board. Kathy Chretien takes the minutes for the meetings. She then passes them along to me & I post them here. I post just as soon as I get them. However I should point out if you follow any NM town meetings, minutes for various boards are posted in a most untimely fashion.
