McMinnville officials have accepted on final read a list of policies and procedures regarding public notice and the time frame necessary before items from committee can be heard by the full board.“The purpose of this is to help the citizens of McMinnville get public notice better than they were before,” said Vice Mayor Ben Newman. “We are going to try to stick to this as best we can. There may be instances where we find it difficult, but in the long run, it’s in the public’s best interest.”While the policies and procedures allow for advanced public notice, it may put restrictions on the board.
