Select Board reaffirms town hall office hours set in 2016
Summary
The Select Board voted to retain the town hall office hours adopted December 2016: Mondays 7:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. and Tuesdays–Thursdays 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; members said changes were made to the posted hours without board approval.
The Select Board voted to restore the town hall office hours that were adopted by the board in 2016 and discussed recent changes to posted hours.
A Select Board member recalled the December 2016 vote establishing Monday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., explaining the extended Monday hours were intended to accommodate board meeting schedules. Several members said a sign showing different hours had been placed on the door without the board’s consultation and that department heads generally manage opening and coverage depending on staffing.
One board member moved to retain the hours as voted on 12/28/2016 (Mondays 7:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m.; Tuesdays–Thursdays 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.). The motion passed; a member noted salaried department heads may have different availability but supported uniform posted hours for the town hall.
The board directed staff to ensure the posted hours reflect the 2016 vote and to bring any future proposals to change hours to the Select Board for approval.
