Agenda Submission Required Format
The Clerk's Office is responsible for posting agendas that contain complete information in order to meet Open Meeting Law as well as provide clear and transparent meeting information to the public to inform and encourage civic participation. ALL Agendas submitted must contain the following:
- Board/Committee NAME
- Meeting TIME
- Meeting LOCATION - actual location or virtual instructions. Hybrid meetings need both.
- ANY AND ALL agenda items to be discussed and in order of discussion. The meeting follows the scheduled agenda items so they must be presented in the proper and clear order.
- A link to any necessary supplementary information that is necessary to participate in the discussion such as a meeting packet, related study or other information necessary to the discussion.
- **Do not forget to check your meeting room availability and/or reserve it here: Meeting Room Facility Reservations
How to Submit Agendas & Meeting Minutes
Official Agendas must be emailed in a Word or PDF document format that contains all necessary Board information. If your board or committee is in need of a template, please contact the Clerk's office and they will send a blank template to you that contains standard information for you to use.
Meeting Minutes are preferred to be emailed to the Town Clerk's office in a Word or PDF form. Signatures are not required on meeting minutes per state law as the acceptance of meeting minutes by a Board/Committee is officially recognized during the agenda item of accepting of previous meeting's minutes and that vote/acceptance is included in the recording of the minutes.
All Agendas & Minutes must be emailed to: assttownclerk@eastham-ma.gov and copy townclerk@eastham-ma.gov and received per the time schedule below to meet all open meeting law posting requirements.
