Voters approve mailing postcard notice of annual report with option to request mailed copies
Summary
Article 9 was amended and approved to send a postcard notice of the annual report to all registered voters and to add language allowing the town report to be mailed by request; the select board expects to continue providing printed copies on request and online access.
An amendment to Article 9 inserting the phrase "mail report by request" into the postcard-notice language passed after discussion about cost savings and access. The amendment was proposed to reduce printing costs by sending a postcard to each registered voter that would include instructions to obtain a full printed report by request; the town administrator said printed copies would still be available at municipal offices and for pickup at the meeting.
Residents asked whether email or online distribution could replace printed copies; the administrator said statutory language required postcards but that the town would post the report online and accept requests for mailed printed reports. The moderator announced the amendment passed by voice vote and the amended Article 9 was then approved.
