It’s our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton town government, school, and other similar meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something. Also, sometimes things are on the town calendars and are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to double check before you head over!
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then school meetings.
BAR HARBOR GOVERNMENT MEETINGS!
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
According to Bar Harbor’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
