Budget committee meeting moved to Misty Harbor over acoustics concerns
Summary
The Budget Committee meeting will be moved to the chartroom at Misty Harbor because acoustics at the Masonic Hall made it difficult for hearing-impaired attendees to follow proceedings. A town official commented there were “listening ears” available.
Selectmen and committee members agreed to move an upcoming Budget Committee meeting to the chartroom at Misty Harbor after concerns were raised about acoustics in the Masonic Hall. P. Boeshane said the change was made because the hall’s acoustics were not suitable for hearing‑impaired members.
When asked why the Town Office meeting room was not being used, P. Drinkwater said there were "listening ears," a phrase recorded in the minutes. The relocation aims to improve accessibility for committee members and the public as the town proceeds with budget work and a community meeting scheduled for March 11.
