.. 0~/88/1996 20:44 704-?889820 CONNISSIONER ~ILLS PAGE <br /> <br />PRESS RELEASE <br /> <br />Kenneth Mille, Caba~us County Cemmis~ioner <br />PO Box 3424 <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: <br />Kenneth Mills, Cabarrus County Commissioner <br />(704) 783-0534 <br /> <br />FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <br /> <br /> Open Government <br /> <br />Concord, NC, September IL 1996--I feel so stronBl¥ that the citizens are entitled to a total open govemmant that I <br />shall place the followin~ resolution on the agenda of the September 16' Commissioner's meeting. Many citizens do <br />not rea]i~c the impa~t or ~he actions taken in closed sessions, nor do they have an opponunit7 to realize how those <br />decisions were reached. I ~nder the present closed session structure, ~ull and accurate minutes are not kept in spite <br />of the fact that ma,.~, de¢~ions are made. While many issues are ora sensitive nature, it is not necessary to keep it a <br />secret from the citiz=n.~ ,.~!' Caban'as County once the issues a~e resolved or there is closure. At the last meeting, ! <br />attemptec[ to persuade m.,.. f'~llow commissioners to open ~te door to government, however as Dr, Niblock said, <br />"there are some things thy citizens don't need to know;" [ sa}' the citizens are entitled to know everything about <br />their government a.~ w~ll as the convictions and decisions or'those they elected to represent them. The excuses to <br />keep the door closed and th~ public shut out were just that.., excuses made by Commissioners B~tnhan and ?enneL <br />The legal issues were addressed [mc[ our atlotney indicated there was no reason not to keep these minutes as ! <br />proposed, but [ hav~' con', promised the resolution to include a provision which allows the county attorney to review <br />the minutes prior t~ hain:.' released for public inspection. <br /> <br /> <br />
