Council Minutes - Town of Cambridge

COUNCIL MINUTES
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011
Question 3
Under the heading Community Consultation, you talk about the Town's existing
Community Consultation Matrix. Why is this Matrix not published on your website?
Other Councils who have such a matrix go to lengths to explain the details to the
community. As ratepayers we look to you, our Mayor and Councillors, as our
representatives, working for the common good of this community. Why are we constantly
given the feeling you withhold information from us and treat us almost as enemies, to be
kept in the dark as long as possible.
Response
The Community Consultation Matrix is detailed in Policy No. 1.2.11, which is included in
the Town's Policy Manual and is published on the Town's website.
