INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC:
Public Notice: Regular board meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of the month at MLGW’s Administration Building
unless otherwise noted in the public notice filing and website. The proposed agenda will be posted in the public section of the
ground floor lobby of the Administration Building and on MLGW’s website at least 48 hours before the Board meets. You may
access the proposed Board agenda and all available documents related to the items linked from the agenda on the Internet at:
www.mlgw.com.... Large agreements, items related to Homeland Security or items received too late to post may not be viewable.
You may view those documents in the Public Records Office prior to or after the Board meeting. By Board action, agenda items
may be added, deleted or held for later consideration at a later board meeting.
Consent Agenda: Items shown under the Consent Agenda consists of items considered to be routine and non-controversial upon
which the documentation provided to the Board is adequate to give sufficient information for approval without inquiry or
discussion during the Board meeting. The use of the Consent Agenda is designed to minimize the time required for the handling
of routine matters in order to permit additional time to be spent on more significant matters. The Chairman will call for approval
on the Consent Agenda as a whole and the vote will be treated as a separate vote on each item. At the request of a Board member,
the Chairman may move any item on the Consent Agenda to the Regular Agenda.
Regular Agenda: Item(s) to be individually considered for Board action.
Filed Items: The Board may be provided information which does not require Board approval or Board discussion but which is
noted for the official record as having been supplied to the Board.
Resolutions: Generally, there are two types of resolutions subject to approval by the MLGW Board of Commissioners. Internal
Board Resolutions are within the full authority of the Board and considered final upon the acceptance of the minutes of that board
action. External Board Resolutions are subject to the approval of the City Council and are not considered final until the City
Council accepts the minutes of their approval for such.
