Handouts Policy for all Town Meetings

Blooming Grove has adopted a handouts policy for each of their meetings. The new policy is as follows:

“It is the responsibility of any person who wishes to have items handed out to any governmental body, to have these documents to the town office staff by 9 AM the Friday before the meeting starts. This includes members of the public, anyone wishing to be on the agenda, and members of the governmental bodies (Plan and Parks Commission and Town Board). Emails, Faxes, Mailings, and dropping off documents at the Town Hall are all acceptible forms of having handouts to the office on time.

One exception would be if the document is unavailable by the previous Friday, and the document pertains to an item that is on the meeting agenda. In this case the document can be given to the town office staff member the night of the meeting, and he may distribute that document to the presiding body.”

If you have any questions in regards to the new handouts policy, feel free to call the town office and they will be happy to help you.

Town Board Meetings

The Town Board typically meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. Town Board meetings take place at 6:30 PM at the Town Hall, 1880 S. Stoughton Road, Madison, Wisconsin. Board meetings are open to the public, with the rare exception of some closed sessions that are required to deal with statutorily sensitive issues- like personnel matters and contract negotiations.

A typical Town Board meeting consists of reports from the different Board members, the Clerk/Treasurer/Administrator, the Fire Chief, and the Public Works department. There are specific agenda items for each meeting, which allow the Board to take action of some kind related to that item. The Board cannot legally take action without an item being listed on the agenda. The public also has an oppurtunity at every Board meeting to voice concerns they may have about any topic. Other meetings that the Town Board presides over during the course of a year are the Town’s Annual Meeting, and any Budget Meetings that may be needed.
