Resident presses Select Board on ATV ordinance status and who will pay for signage
Summary
A resident asked for a copy of the ATV ordinance draft and who will pay for signage; Chair Andrea Treadway said the draft is with the town lawyer and explained the 60‑day adoption timeline and a 44‑day petition window.
During the Nov. 10 regular Select Board meeting, resident David Lambert asked whether the town has an update on the proposed ATV ordinance and who would be responsible for paying for any required signage.
Chair Andrea Treadway said the draft ordinance is with the town lawyer for review and that the Select Board is awaiting that lawyer’s comments. "We are supposed to get something anytime now," she said, adding the board will consult the lawyer about signage and provide the ordinance draft to the town for review once it is finalized.
Treadway summarized the adoption timeline described in the meeting: if the board votes to adopt the ordinance it will become an ordinance in 60 days, and within 44 days residents can file a petition, signed by 5% of voters, to object to adoption.
David Lambert asked specifically whether the town would receive a copy of the ordinance before a vote; Treadway said the board would discuss providing the draft for review. The minutes do not record a decision about signage cost allocation or a specific date for the lawyer’s response.
