Summary

At the Jan. 13 joint meeting, Selectman Brett proposed a seed-funded printed newsletter modeled on Cornwall’s and raised the need to upgrade Zoom technology in Chapin Meeting Hall; officials treated both as exploratory items with no decisions taken.

Selectman Brett raised the idea of a printed town newsletter similar to the Town of Cornwall's and said the proposal would require seed funding. Mr. Brett presented the suggestion during the joint BOF/BOS/BOE meeting on Jan. 13, 2026 at Town Hall.

He also flagged the need for better Zoom meeting technology in Chapin Meeting Hall to support hybrid participation. Ms. Kearcher noted that First Selectman Flanagan currently produces a monthly newsletter; the group treated the printed newsletter idea as preliminary and did not take a formal vote or set an appropriation.

Officials did not set a timeline or funding amount at the meeting; further discussion and budgeting would be required before any printed newsletter or hardware upgrades proceeded.
