Selectmen vote to move regular meetings back to 3:30 p.m.
Summary
After debating attendance and the demands of budget-season evening meetings, the board voted to resume the previous 3:30 p.m. start time for regular selectmen meetings beginning next week.
Selectmen debated whether evening meeting times had reduced public attendance and whether the board should return to a mid-afternoon start time. After discussion, a selectman moved to return to a 3:30 p.m. meeting start and another member seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Members said they had not seen increased attendance at evening meetings and cited budget-season scheduling pressures that would require additional evening meetings. "I'll make the motion to go back to 03:30," one selectman said, and the motion passed with multiple members voting aye. The change will take effect at the board's next scheduled meeting.
Members asked staff to ensure the meeting notice is posted publicly and to confirm that signage and web postings reflect the time change.
