Council approves minor bylaws and rules changes, shifts parliamentarian role
Summary
The council approved edits to its bylaws and rules of procedure, changing the parliamentarian from the town attorney to the deputy town clerk, removing a requirement to transmit bound minutes to Jamerson Library, and correcting typographical errors.
Appomattox — The council approved a set of modest edits to its bylaws and rules of procedure intended to reflect current practice and correct errors.
The packet presented three modifications: the parliamentarian role will move from the town attorney to the deputy town clerk; the requirement to transmit a bound copy of approved minutes to the Jamerson Library was removed because minutes are now available digitally; and a typographical correction to the spelling of "council" was made. The Chair said the Jamerson Library director agreed that a bound copy is unnecessary given the digital record.
A council member moved approval of the attached modified bylaws and rules of procedure; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
