An Editorial...Posting Meeting Notices

The regular monthly meeting of the Grove Planning & Zoning Board was cancelled this week when it became obvious that no one posted the meeting notice as per the law. This is the kind of small town America thing that ends up on the Jay Leno Show.
All that is required to post the notice is a photocopy of the Agenda and two pieces of Scotch Tape. And someone has to put the notice on the South Door of the Community Center building.
With the City Clerk taking some well earned vacation, the responsibility falls to someone else in her absence. The buck stops with the City Manager, of course, but the P&Z Board itself has a Chairman and four other members who could have made sure the notice was posted. And do we really need a full time, salaried P&Z Director? Probably, unless you want to put the burden on the Chairman.
The previous Chairman, Jim Weeks, who served many years on the board, never went to a meeting unless he had personally checked out the zoning change or request to be considered at the meeting. One cannot just look at a packet of materials and make decisions which affect business people and the rest of the citizens. One needs to go to the site and view the items to be considered.
But in the meantime, won't someone step up and show some responsibility to make sure the meeting notices get properly posted?
