Select Board tables adoption of VLCT meeting rules for further review
Summary
The Townshend Select Board introduced VLCT model meeting rules but agreed to table formal adoption so members can review language on public-comment limits and participation by nonresidents.
The Townshend Select Board opened a motion to adopt a tailored version of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT) model meeting rules for the coming year but voted to table the item to allow further review.
Chair introduced the proposed rules and moved to adopt them for the year. During discussion, board members raised concerns about the scope of public comment and whether nonresidents may participate. A board member argued for more time to read the proposal, saying, "I almost wouldn't mind tabling it till the next meeting," and the board agreed to postpone formal adoption.
The tabling vote was taken by voice; no numeric roll call was recorded. The board said it will return the written resolution to a future agenda after members have had more time to review the draft language and any VLCT feedback.
