If you are not quite sure when Launceston's AGM meeting will be, and you don't read the classifieds in the Examiner, it is not all that easy to find out. The LCC website has been classified by one member as being somewhere between opaque and translucent. Whatever, the date is not easy to find on the website. Perhaps that is deliberate!
ANYWAY the meeting is on DEC 3 @ 6:30 pm and it will be held at Town Hall

Like last year, the Examiner was able to report that only 40 people turned up and if the aldermen say "nobody is really interested" you can see why. This way the officers get off the hook for all kinds of questioning. You do have to be on the ball to know that you can even ask questions at the AGM, and how, and when, and of whom.
By now you would expect to find the AGM's draft agenda on the Council's website, but NO! By now you would think that there would be a media release encouraging ratepayers to attend the AGM and telling us what the hot issues are, but NO! This is the meeting where ratepayers can ask questions of Council, aldermen and officers, so it is not too surprising that the event is downplayed. Perhaps it is why it is held as late in the year as possible, and as near to Christmas as possible, to discourage attendance.
Also, by now you might expect that the AGM could be attended online like the fortnightly Council meeting but we do not think so.
