In my opinion, the new agenda is obviously different from the town-issued agendas I've received from Town Hall in the past. There is no posting time on the Special Meeting agenda. The use of Bold Type and the font size used is also different. I've never seen Town officials post with blue painters' tape before either.
Also, the Town Clerk did not send me a copy of the Special Meeting Agenda called by Foster. So I have my questions on the validity of this "document".
I did receive the following Corrected Agenda from Quartzsite Town Clerk this morning via email, stating,
"Corrected wording on Consent Agenda item number 3.
Removed item number 3; Approve or reject Resolution No. 11-12; Adoption of budget."
