Select Board to ask voters to adopt codification of town ordinances in November
Summary
The board agreed to add a warrant article seeking voter approval to revise and codify Hollis' ordinances for online and print access, citing earlier work and a $15,000 line item in the 2024 budget for codification.
Board members told the meeting that the town’s codification project—intended to make ordinances searchable and accessible online—was nearly complete. The Select Board voted to add a warrant article asking voters to enact an ordinance to revise and codify municipal ordinances; the committee and legal counsel prepared the wording and the board will submit the article to the November warrant.
A Select Board member noted a prior budget allocation (about $15,000) had supported the project and that the town clerk and staff had worked through repealed and current ordinances to create the codified document. The board said adoption of the codification ordinance itself requires voter approval because the codification creates a consolidated ordinance compilation.
