The Exeter Town Council meeting on December 2, 2024, featured discussions on community concerns regarding noise from ATVs and a proposal to close town offices on December 23 for the holiday season.

During the meeting, resident Mary Beth Kenoyer addressed the council about noise disturbances caused by ATVs in her neighborhood. She emphasized that her neighbors have accurately described the situation, noting that the noise and activity can last all day. Kenoyer suggested that the council consider establishing parameters to make the environment more livable for all residents.

In another significant discussion, council members revisited a proposal to close town offices on December 23. This request was supported by several staff members who expressed that many would be taking vacation or sick days around the holidays. Council member Greg highlighted the importance of this closure as a morale booster for the staff, who have been working hard throughout the year. The motion to close the offices was seconded and discussed, with staff members advocating for the day off to enhance workplace morale.

The meeting underscored the council's responsiveness to community concerns and the well-being of town employees, reflecting a commitment to both local quality of life and staff welfare as the holiday season approaches. Further discussions and decisions on these matters are expected in upcoming meetings.
