Weathersfield staff shifts meeting materials distribution to emailed packets and a SharePoint site
Summary
Land Use Administrator Ryan Gumbart said meeting packets are now emailed rather than posted online and that a Microsoft SharePoint site was set up for board file access; members debated redacting sensitive information versus public availability.
Ryan Gumbart, the town's Land Use Administrator, told the Development Review Board that meeting materials are no longer posted publicly in full; instead packets are emailed to board members and a Microsoft SharePoint site was set up to allow shared access and internal communication. Mr. Gumbart said he has met with Member Michael Cohen to arrange the site but that access for all members still needs to be sorted out.
Board members discussed balancing public access with protecting personally sensitive information. Member Beth Hunton said she "felt that it is important to make access to development information easy for the public," and preferred posting most materials online with only clearly sensitive information redacted. The board agreed to continue discussing which specific categories of information should be protected and to refine access procedures.
