Hope Select Board discusses separate ballot question on eliminating Open Town Meeting format
Summary
The Town Administrator presented a draft sample question to put on a separate November ballot about eliminating the Open Town Meeting format; the board discussed wording and emphasized the need for scannable responses.
The Town Administrator presented the Select Board with a draft sample question that could appear on a separate November ballot asking voters whether to eliminate the Open Town Meeting format. Board members discussed additional wording options and agreed it will be important to mark the ballot strictly as a survey so each answer can be scanned and tallied by the voting machine.
No formal motion to place the question on the ballot was recorded; the transcript indicates further discussion will take place to determine exact wording so responses can be machine-scanned and tallied. The board treated the item as Old Business and deferred final wording and placement to a future meeting.
