Selectboard rejects immediate surveillance, opts for community engagement on vandalism
Summary
Following public input, the Selectboard voted to pursue a community engagement campaign to address vandalism and affirmed it will not implement video surveillance on town property without a public process and a formal policy.
The Selectboard held a detailed discussion about recent vandalism and whether to use video surveillance. After hearing public input, the board voted to undertake a community engagement campaign to address vandalism and approved a motion stating the town will not employ video surveillance on town property without first developing a public policy through full community participation.
Ehrhardt Groothoff moved the community campaign motion and Eliza Jane Adams seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The action directs staff to design outreach and a policy development process rather than authorizing immediate camera installation.
