Tucker committee sets ordinance adoption timeline; discusses dog-leash safety and signage
Summary
The committee set a community forum for March 16, plans to submit ordinances to the Selectboard on March 25 with a May 24 implementation date, and discussed signage and a dog-leash ordinance emphasizing that members should report observed leash violations even if enforcement is imperfect.
The Tucker Management Committee reviewed an ordinance adoption timetable: a community forum at the town office on March 16 will replace the committee's regular meeting that week; the ordinances will be submitted to the Selectboard on March 25 for adoption; a Notice of Adoption and right to petition will be published; and implementation is scheduled for May 24, 2026 (60 days after adoption).
The committee discussed the type of signage to accompany the ordinances and specific provisions such as a dog-leash requirement. On the leash issue, Tom Kidder suggested a pragmatic approach: "while perfect enforcement might not be possible, management committee members could speak up about observed issues." The minutes show the committee agreed to continue refining signage and public information ahead of the March 16 forum.
