Select Board discusses minutes backlog, AI draft minutes pilot and public‑input procedures
Summary
The board reviewed a backlog of draft minutes, agreed to pilot AI‑assisted draft minutes for speed (with human proofing before posting), and discussed whether to revise public‑input rules and the governance model in future workshops.
Board members discussed a backlog of meeting minutes and described a pilot program using AI to produce draft minutes that would then be reviewed and corrected by human recorders before posting.
The chair said the town will not post AI drafts directly and emphasized that a human recording secretary must proof and correct any AI‑generated draft before it is posted. "We're not posting the draft minutes AI directly... Only after those recording secretary who's doing it goes through it makes all the corrections... those draft minutes will be posted," the chair said.
Members also debated whether the board should change its public‑input procedure so board members can respond during public comment or whether to preserve the chair‑controlled approach to avoid immediate decision requests and back‑and‑forth during public input. The board agreed to schedule further discussion, possibly in workshops with the town administrator and to consult NHMA templates for governance models.
The board scheduled a meeting of minute takers and a Zoom session to coordinate best practices for AI drafting and proofing.
