At a public hearing in Seymour on the proposed Disabled Veteran Exemption Ordinance, no residents offered testimony and one attendee, Dean White, asked whether the board intended to pass the ordinance at the meeting.
The chair said the session was open comment and explained that the ordinance had already been discussed by the ordinance committee and returned to the board for further review. "This is just open comment," the chair said, adding, "It'll get passed in the board of select persons meeting." Dean White, introducing himself as a Seymour resident, said he had expected a vote and that he "thought people would come out and say yes or no or something like that." The chair invited anyone wishing to comment to come to the microphone and state their name and address.
The transcript records the chair saying, "We'll call the meeting adjourned at 06:46," though speakers continued on the record afterward. The chair summarized the ordinance process on the record, saying it mirrors the state's equivalent and that the current session was intended to gather public feedback "either yay or nay." No formal motions, votes or amendments on the ordinance were recorded in the hearing transcript. The next procedural step described on the record is consideration and potential passage at the board of select persons meeting.
