Meetings, Records Open To The Public

To Concerned Citizens:

Having just read The Glasgow Courier’s article on Sunshine Week (“Good Day, Sunshine” on the March 12 Opinion page), I would like to make a comment.

In Valley County, and all of Montana, all meetings are open to the public with a couple of exceptions, such as discipline matters.

All records associated with our meetings are open to the public as well. Which means anyone may come and inspect any documents, or use the public computer to find information. We expect you to search on the computer for the information you want, with guidance from courthouse employees if needed. The Valley County employees have their tasks and do not have time to provide you with your information.

Commissioners, as well as all boards, post agendas for each meeting, and the minutes are available to the public to view.

If you have any questions, please call the Valley County Commissioners at 228-6219.

David Reinhardt
