Jeff Gracey released this statement following the evening’s meeting:
“A very brief but extremely important Special Town Council Meeting tonight. This year’s appointments to our Boards and Commissions were voted on. It’s amazing how many of our neighbors put themselves out there to serve our Community! My biggest regret is that there were far more volunteers than available positions. Notifications will be out soon. I hope that ALL of us stay engaged in the new year. If you didn’t get an appointment it doesn’t mean you can’t be part of the path our Town is taking. Trust me, there will be plenty of opportunities to have your voice heard in 2020 and beyond. Please stay in touch with me and all your Council Members, towncouncil@brownsburg.org. Come to some meetings or watch the videos. (We’ll be looking into the quality of the provided video.) I’ll also be looking into making sure the meeting packets are more easily accessible in perpetuity.” — Jeff Gracey via Social Media
