Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - The agenda for next week's Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners meeting, which is slated for October 1-2, was posted on the agency's website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) today, and can be viewed by clicking the "Next Commissioners' Meeting" box in the center of the homepage and then on the agenda link.
The meeting will be held in the auditorium of the agency's Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81 in Harrisburg.
On Monday, Oct. 1, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the Board will hear public comments, followed by various staff reports. Individuals interested in offering public testimony - limited to five minutes - may begin to register at 7:45 a.m. on a first-come, first-to-speak basis.
On Tuesday, Oct 2, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the Board will take up the agency's prepared agenda. Doors open at 7:45 a.m.
"In the past, we printed and mailed copies of the agenda to 130 sportsmen's club representatives, outdoor writers and legislators," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "However, in our ongoing efforts to cut operational costs, we have decided that it would be better to post this information on our website providing a wider and more uniform distribution, while saving money for important conservation work."
A limited number of copies of the agenda will be available at the meeting.
Once the October meeting ends, Roe said a copy of the meeting minutes will be posted on the website as soon as they are transcribed, which generally takes between two to three weeks. Previous meeting minutes are posted on the website (www.pgc.state.pa.us) in the "Reports" section of the homepage.
"Posting the minutes on the website allows us to cut the costs of printing and mailing copies of this document, and reach a wider audience," Roe said. "It's a cost-savings move that makes Game Commission actions and decisions more accessible to the public."
