Selectmen send proposed ordinance changes to town attorney; public hearings required
Summary
Selectmen reviewed proposed ordinance changes — Land Use Building Code compliance language, a Road Entrance Ordinance noted as never voted at a Town Meeting, and a Vacation Rental Ordinance for health and safety — and sent them to the town attorney for review; no motions were made pending attorney corrections.
During the Feb. 4, 2025 meeting the board recorded several proposed ordinance changes and directed that the drafts be reviewed by the town attorney before any formal vote.
The minutes list three items: adding a 'letter of compliance' provision to the Land Use Building Code, noting that the Road Entrance Ordinance has never been voted at a Town Meeting, and a proposed Vacation Rental Ordinance intended to set health and safety regulations for property owners. The record states these drafts "have been sent to the attorney for review" and that each will require a public hearing; the minutes record no motion or vote on the ordinances at this meeting.
Because the minutes do not include draft text, hearing dates, or attorney feedback, the board will need to publish the proposed language and schedule the mandated public hearings before any ordinance can be adopted.
