Records vital asset for any town On March 6, 1860 the first town board meeting was held in the Town of Montezuma in the home of the town clerk, Isaac W. Trufant. The minutes consisted of one paragraph pasted on the inside of a record book. We eventually found these minutes locked in an old safe. They were so safe no one knew the combination for several years. Today's board meeting minutes consist of several pages of discussion, resolutions and information pertinent to conducting town business. |
