Planning board notes availability of one-hour freedom-of-access training
Summary
Staff notified the Bristol Planning Board that a one-hour freedom-of-access (sunshine law) training video is available through Maine Municipal for board members to watch individually or together; the recording is available for about 30 days.
Staff told the board that the town purchased a one-hour freedom-of-access training video (often called the sunshine law) through Maine Municipal and that members may watch it at the town office. "If you have headphones you can sit and watch it; it takes about an hour," the staff member said. The town has access to the recording for roughly 30 days; staff offered to arrange a group viewing at a firehouse or allow members to view individually at the office during available hours.
Members noted the importance of the training to understand restrictions on members discussing board business outside meetings and to ensure newer members are aware of the limits on ex parte discussions. No formal attendance requirement was recorded; staff said the training is available and will be accessible for a limited period.
