Grafton select board schedules vote on short-term rental ordinance for April 20
Summary
The Grafton Select Board voted to change its agenda and announced the short-term rental ordinance will be voted on at the regular meeting on April 20, 2026; the board said no public hearing will be held and the measure will go directly to a vote.
The Grafton Select Board voted April 6 to adjust its agenda so that the short-term rental ordinance will be considered and voted on at the regular meeting on Monday, April 20, 2026. A board member (speaker 2) told the board that the item would be an announcement of the ordinance vote rather than a public hearing, and said Morgan had agreed to the change.
The announcement was made during the meeting’s agenda review, when the member proposed changing item 10 to read a short-term rental ordinance vote announcement and to set the meeting date and time for April 20. The chair (speaker 1) asked for a second and the board approved the agenda-change motion by voice.
Board members clarified during later public comment that the board does not plan to hold a separate public hearing on the ordinance; instead, the ordinance will be brought forward for the board’s vote at the regular meeting. One select board member confirmed the vote will occur during the regular meeting scheduled for April 20 at 6:00 p.m. (an earlier remark in the meeting referenced 5:30). The board did not take a substantive vote on the ordinance itself at the April 6 meeting.
The change means residents who want to address the ordinance will need to plan any comments for the April 20 meeting. The board moved into executive session after the announcement and adjourned the public portion of the meeting.
