Saco residents soon will benefit by recent council actions that will reinforce transparency in our local official transactions and discourse. For years, the public was unable to hear or see what was presented at council or school board meetings. Come April, citizens will see a change. The council approved spending funds to replace the audio/visual equipment in the city hall auditorium. The funds were provided through the current budget.

The Saco Citizens for Sensible Government (SCSG) recognizes the council and employees for moving forward on this project. Transparency is an important function of government operations. This upgrade will benefit all citizens as they will be able to hear and see presentations during the meetings.

The SCSG group invites citizens to be aware that there is an ability to watch council and school board meetings on the Saco City website at one’s convenience. Here is the link for future reference: townhallstreams.com/ locations/saco-me.

If you have any questions or concerns about what is occurring within the city or school department, it is important to reach out to your respective ward council or school board person. If you are unsure, call the city clerk’s office. The number is 284-4831.
