Public Meeting Minutes
All Public Meeting Minutes received for posting on the web have been recently converted to the Town’s Document Management System. Minutes are now available, organized in folders by Board or Committee and Calendar year and accessible via a weblink. In the process of conversion, these documents, where the file format allowed, have been converted to Text, OCR’d and Indexed to provide enhanced ADA browse and search capabilities. Please take a minute to review tips for searching when you log in for the first time.
Note: At the present time there are a limited number of web clients available. If you are unable to access the document management system, please return at a later time. Concurrent utilization will be monitored so that additional web clients can be budgeted as needed.
Guidelines for Preparing Public Meeting Minute Submissions for Web Posting:
Public Meeting Minutes can now be posted directly by internal departments while external users may submit
approved minutes for web posting by providing the document in electronic format to Webmaster@FraminghamMA.gov. Please note: To be accepted for posting, the external user must be a current member of the Board or Commission for which minutes are submitted.
Documents may be created and submitted either as Word (.doc) or Adobe (.pdf) files. Please note that documents created in Word but saved as .html files or documents that have been scanned or contain images cannot be converted to Text; OCR’d or Indexed. It is recommended that any scanned pages or images be provided as separate files from the main document.
For consistency, please adopt the following naming convention in submitting minutes
mm-dd-yyyy Name Minutes.doc
For example minutes for an 8/15/06 Government Study Committee would be saved in a file named
08-15-2006 GSC Minutes.doc
Disclaimer:
These documents are not the Town’s official public record. The official public record is the one submitted to the Town Clerk’s office; logged and forwarded to the Town’s Main Library in paper form.
