Select-board expansion committee sets September meeting, plans public-facing paper and appendix of questions
Summary
Committee members agreed to reconvene after Labor Day (tentatively Sept. 2 at 10 a.m.), prepare draft questions and a pros-and-cons appendix based on other towns' studies, and aim to produce a public paper for review rather than rush a recommendation before the next town meeting.
The committee tentatively scheduled its next meeting for Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 10:00 a.m. and agreed to use the summer to prepare a draft of interview questions and a pros-and-cons appendix that would accompany the committee's public paper. One member said the goal is to "have a public meeting where people will attend, and we will... here's what we learned." The group emphasized not rushing the analysis and said they will prioritize accuracy over speed.
Members discussed meeting cadence after Labor Day and the need to circulate draft questions only as part of an agenda packet, citing open-meeting constraints on iterative editing outside public sessions. They asked volunteers (Patty and another member) to compile an initial draft of questions and a consolidated pros-and-cons list drawn from other towns' reports to circulate before the September meeting.
