Summary
After a brief public hearing and no public speakers, the Select Board voted to adopt updates to multiple town code chapters covering tax exemptions, selectman bylaws, cash-receipt procedures and joint loss management housekeeping.
The Select Board closed a short public hearing and approved updates to multiple town code chapters intended to modernize housekeeping provisions and reflect recent town-meeting votes. Chair (Speaker 1) opened the hearing and outlined proposed changes to chapters 138 (taxation and exemptions), 152 (selectman bylaws and meeting recordings), 154 (cash receipts policy), 165 (financial policies) and 167 (joint loss management).
