Select Board asks for briefing on General Code product and contract; town manager to coordinate
Summary
Board members expressed interest in a briefing from General Code (the vendor) and asked the town manager and project liaison to arrange a presentation so the board can see what codified ordinances the vendor will deliver and how the product will be used, ahead of the 2026 town meeting adoption schedule.
Select Board members asked for a briefing from vendor General Code and for the town manager and project liaison to coordinate the presentation. The board said it wants clarity on what portions of town ordinances General Code will codify, how the product will appear on the town website, and whether work the town already submitted (such as road and amusements ordinance inputs) were incorporated.
Board members noted the General Code effort was grant‑funded and follows a multi‑phase schedule that will not produce a deliverable for town adoption until the 2026 town meeting under the contracted timeline. The board directed the town manager to arrange a briefing with General Code and to involve Chip (the board’s liaison to the vendor) so the board can ask questions and confirm expectations about deliverables and contract terms. Members suggested scheduling the vendor briefing for the first meeting in October if possible, to allow time for review and questions prior to warrant drafting and adoption steps.
