Resident urges posting of leases and contracts online; Board weighs costs and policy

At public comment, resident Al Brandano urged the Board to post leases, contracts and similar public documents on the Town website to reduce misinformation circulating on social media and improve transparency. Board members responded that posting documents in draft form or before agreements are finalized could create confusion and that current website maintenance costs are a constraint.

Board members asked staff to evaluate the costs and logistics of posting additional documents and to draft a website-posting policy for a future agenda. The Board framed the issue as a balance between transparency and the administrative burden of keeping hosted documents accurate and current.
