Selectmen unanimously re-adopt town policies for 2026, including Affirmative Action and Fair Housing resolutions
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting the Windsor Locks Board of Selectmen unanimously re-adopted multiple 2026 town policies — including an Affirmative Action Plan, Fair Housing statements and an ADA notice — and recorded that the Affirmative Action Plan is a five-year document adopted 12/2/2025.
The Windsor Locks Board of Selectmen on Dec. 2 unanimously re-adopted a package of town policies and statements to govern 2026 operations, including an Affirmative Action Plan, two affirmative-action policy statements, a Fair Housing policy statement, a Fair Housing resolution, the municipal grievance procedure, formal compliance with Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and an ADA notice.
The motions were introduced by Selectman Mark Whitten and seconded by Selectman James Cannon; each motion carried "all in favor," with no recorded dissents. The board noted the Affirmative Action Plan is on a five-year adoption schedule and was adopted on 12/2/2025.
Intervening items were minimal: the motions were procedural votes to re-affirm previously adopted policies and did not include further substantive amendments or public-comment debate during the meeting. The Title IV reference reflects a compliance statement the board approved; the transcript does not specify additional implementing language beyond the motion that was passed.
The board did not record individual roll-call vote tallies in the meeting minutes — minutes show unanimous approval on each item. The re-adopted items will be posted on the town website along with the meeting dates and holiday schedule approved in the same session.
Next steps: staff will publish the updated policy notices and the adopted Affirmative Action Plan as indicated; no further board action on these items was recorded at this meeting.
