Informed citizens are vital to the functioning of a healthy
democracy. To inform and educate the residents of the Village as to
official affairs of the government, the Board of Trustees intends
to periodically provide a public, nonpartisan, nonpolitical newsletter
to provide notices of public meetings, information on structure and
functioning of Village government, names and official phone numbers
of Village officials, schedules for Village activities, summaries
of official actions and financial reports, and such other information
regarding Village affairs as may be proper.
The Board of Trustees authorizes the Village Clerk to cause
and oversee the periodical publication and distribution to the residents
and taxpayers of the Village of West Carthage reports, bulletins or
other information relating to the official duties, acts and meetings
of the officers, employees, boards, commissions, departments and other
agencies of the Village, and may distribute such reports, bulletins
or other information, in the form of a newsletter or otherwise.
The publications shall contain information relating to the official
duties, acts and meetings of the Village as provided herein, and may
include topics of interest as expressed in elements and aspects of
the Village's Comprehensive Plan and other information that may
be valuable and informational to residents. The publications shall
not relate to matters which promote primarily private, partisan or
political purposes or undertakings. The cost of preparation, composition,
publication and distribution shall not exceed the amount budgeted
for same, if any.
