Select Board discusses AI use policy; motion withdrawn after procedural concerns
Summary
A proposed alternative to the town's AI Use Policy was discussed on July 21; after debate about added procedures and when goals are needed, the motion to adopt the distributed draft was withdrawn by the maker.
Select Board member Heather Jones distributed an alternative draft of the town’s AI Use Policy and moved to adopt it, prompting extended discussion among board members and staff about the draft’s substance.
Alissa Eason observed that while the revised draft did not change the policy’s core provisions, it added procedural language. Cassaundra Rose said the board needed clearer guidance about when goals should be required and when procedures suffice. After an extensive back-and-forth with staff and fellow board members, Jones withdrew her motion and no adoption occurred at the July 21 meeting.
The transcript records discussion but does not include the text of the draft policy or detailed procedural language. Board members indicated procedures will need updating and that further direction from the board or staff will be necessary before an adoption vote can be successful.
