Frequently Asked Questions: • What are our rights and duties as officials? • Can we hold multiple offices? • Which of our meetings are open to the public? • Must we have an agenda and take minutes? • What ordinances can we enact? • What are our liabilities and immunities? • What is a disqualifying conflict of interest?

Course Materials: Participants may find it helpful to have their Municipal Officers Manual available for reference during the workshop. The manuals are available to purchase online at https://ebiz.memun.org/PersonifyEbusiness/Store [2] or by calling the MMA Publications department at (207) 623-8428, ext. 2386.
