Public hearings on Scituate floodplain amendments draw no public speakers
Summary
Both the Plan Commission and Town Council opened public hearings on proposed floodplain ordinance amendments and recorded no oral public comments during the hearings; officials noted virtual participation was not permitted.
Both the Scituate Plan Commission and the Town Council opened public hearings so residents could comment on proposed amendments to the town's floodplain district regulations. In each instance the presiding officer asked whether anyone in the audience wanted to speak and the transcript records that no one did.
During the council hearing Council President Collins emphasized procedure, telling attendees, "No no virtual participation on these public hearing items." The record shows the bodies took votes after closing the hearings with no recorded public testimony; the transcript does not include written submissions or statements from members of the public.
