Select Board approves library as town public meeting space
Summary
Board added the library to the town's approved public meeting locations for public bodies, subject to open-meeting-law requirements and accessibility; motion passed by voice vote.
The Select Board agreed to designate the library as an approved public meeting space for town public bodies in addition to the town office, town hall and Neighborhood Connections. The librarian requested the change because some committees prefer the library's warmer space; the board said it supports more meeting options so long as open-meeting-law and accessibility requirements are met.
A board member moved to approve the use of the library by town public bodies with the understanding that committees must adhere to open meetings law and accessibility rules. The motion passed on a voice vote. The board noted the library lacks hybrid-meeting equipment used in other spaces, but committees may meet there if they can meet statutory requirements for public access.
