Burrillville council adopts ordinance to establish Burrillville Land Conservancy
Summary
After a brief public hearing and a solicitor's technical correction, the council voted to add Section 2-78 to town ordinances to create the Burrillville Land Conservancy; the ordinance was adopted by voice vote.
The Burrillville Town Council adopted an amendment to the town's general ordinances on Sept. 24 to add Section 2-78 establishing the Burrillville Land Conservancy.
The public hearing for the ordinance included a short remark from the ordinance subcommittee and a solicitor note to correct a typographical item in the draft (the transcript records a correction from "tracts"). Council deliberation emphasized the ordinance's viability and the subcommittee's recommendation for passage. The motion to adopt the revisions to the general ordinances (Chapter 2, Article 4) was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Council members thanked those who drafted the proposal; the item will now be incorporated into the town code and the clerk will publish the updated ordinance text. No formal tally of individual yes/no votes was recorded in the provided transcript.
