Commission addresses Act 171 edits and will verify Open Meeting Law posting requirements for advisory bodies
Summary
Staff added Act 171 protections into the bylaws; commissioners discussed whether the Open Meeting Law's new audio/video posting requirement applies to advisory bodies and tasked Pamela J. Spaulding to check with Aileen. The commission also asked Ryan Andersons to provide a condensed River Corridor Plan.
Will Goodwin told the commission he had already added Act 171 items (forest block and habitat connector protections) into the appropriate bylaw sections. Commissioners then discussed changes to the Open Meeting Law (Act 51) that may require posting audio or video recordings to the town website; Pamela J. Spaulding agreed to check with Aileen about whether that requirement applies to the Planning Commission as an advisory body.
Separately, commissioners noted the River Corridor Plan is lengthy and technical; Pamela J. Spaulding will contact Ryan Andersons to see whether he can prepare a condensed version for local use.
