ARCHIVED SECTION

The Gazette has been revamped. All materials published prior to July 2006 have been placed in this archived section, which will not be updated nor corrected unless someone brings a serious error to our attention. There is a new version, albeit minimalist, that has the potential to grow over time. more
Minutes of Gilbert City Council Meeting

Notice: This page includes an unofficial posting of the council minutes. It was developed by obtaining the official minutes from city hall, scanning them with good optical character recognition software, and recreating a page that contains the same content and is as close in format as possible to the original minutes. However, any process such as this is susceptible  to errors, and we welcome people to point out discrepancies between the official minutes and the ones below so we can make corrections.
