Policy committee delivers six draft policies; board to review and seek attorney vetting
Summary
Volunteers delivered six updated policy drafts — including personnel, conflict-of-interest, animal control and town-hall use — and the board asked members to provide feedback before sending drafts to the town attorney for legal review.
Members of the policy committee presented six drafted policies and asked the select board to review them ahead of attorney vetting. Committee member Ali summarized the work: "Our goal is to refresh everything that needs refreshed according to the auditors, as well as other policies that seem to be outdated." The drafts include personnel, conflict-of-interest, towns and committees, an animal ordinance, and town hall/common use policies.
Board members generally praised the work and emphasized that certain policies (for example, the animal ordinance) will require public hearings and legal review before adoption. The chair asked the board to circulate questions and feedback to the committee in the next two weeks and to forward the revised drafts to the town attorney once board comments are incorporated.
