Selectboard reviews VLCT guidance on records and posting: audio, draft minutes and executive-session votes
Summary
Board reviewed VLCT guidance that minutes must be posted for one year, audio must be posted on the town website, emergency meeting agendas require 48 hours notice, draft minutes are required within five days, and executive sessions require two votes to enter and exit.
The Selectboard reviewed guidance from the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT) about Open Meeting Law requirements. The board was told that minutes must be posted on the town website for one year and that meeting audio should be made available online. The guidance also says emergency meeting agendas require 48 hours' notice and draft minutes should be posted within five days of a meeting; executive sessions require two votes.
Board members asked staff to ensure that Zoom links are published and that website meeting records meet VLCT standards. The guidance was discussed as an administrative compliance item rather than a policy change.
