Summary
The Select Board scheduled a public working session on July 14 to decide whether to update or formally rescind outdated ordinances discovered in the town vault; the recording secretary raised questions about enforcement and whether repeal requires a town meeting vote.
The Select Board continued its project to review old ordinances found stored in the town vault and scheduled a dedicated public working session for Tuesday, July 14, at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will focus on deciding whether to update or rescind various outdated ordinances.
Recording Secretary Hon. Ed Comeau asked whether ordinances originally created by the Select Board require a town meeting vote to be enacted or repealed and who would have enforcement authority; the board noted many of the old ordinances lack clear remedies or penalties and cited an example of an obsolete noise ordinance addressing burning rubber on roads.
