Highland Town Council - Minutes & Memos

Contained within these pages are documents – both memoranda and minutes. Minutes are generated following regular or special business meetings of the Town Council. The Town Council also meets regularly where it takes no formal action but will discuss and receive information on matters of public import. In these meetings, a memorandum  of the meeting is generated. For your convenience, we have included the Indiana law citation regarding reporting requirements:
