Selectman proposes printed town newsletter and improved Zoom for Chapin Hall
Summary
At the Jan. 13 joint meeting, Selectman Brett proposed a printed town newsletter (modeled on Cornwall) that would need seed funding and also urged better Zoom meeting technology for Chapin Meeting Hall; participants noted the First Selectman already circulates a monthly newsletter.
Selectman Brett proposed at the Jan. 13 joint meeting that Sharon consider creating a printed town newsletter similar to the Town of Cornwall’s and said seed funding would be required to start the effort. He also said the town should improve Zoom meeting technology for Chapin Meeting Hall.
Ms. Kearcher noted the monthly newsletter that First Selectman Flanagan already circulates, offering context for the communications discussion. No formal funding decision or vote occurred; the idea was raised for consideration during upcoming budget conversations.
The proposal was presented as a communications and technology suggestion rather than as a formal budget motion. Any seed money or equipment upgrades would need to be considered in the town budget process before implementation.
The meeting record shows no follow-up motion or approved allocation for the newsletter or Zoom upgrades; participants instead agreed to continue budget coordination conversations in the next quarter, where communications and capital priorities can be considered alongside other needs.
