§ 904. Public Bulletin Board.  


Latest version.
  • There shall be an official public bulletin board located outside the Town Clerk's Office in the Town Hall. The agenda of each meeting of the Town Council, and all other boards, committees, and commissions shall be posted, or cause to be posted, on this bulletin board and on the town internet web site by the Town Clerk, at least three (3) working days prior to the meeting.

    No action shall be taken on agenda items which have not been posted in accordance with this section, unless the Council, commission, committee or board determines that an emergency exists. The declaration of emergency by the Council, commission, committee or board shall be conclusive. Dates, times, and meeting places of all regular and special meetings, public hearings and workshops shall also be posted on the bulletin board in accordance with this section.

    A failure or malfunction in the town internet website shall not require the postponement of any hearing or action by the Town Council or any other board, committee or commission provided the agenda was posted on the official public bulletin board as required by this section.

    Sec. 904.1. Public Access to Meetings. All regularly scheduled meetings and budget workshops of the Town Council shall be video recorded and broadcast on a local cable access channel pursuant to Federal laws governing local access. Additionally, in the event an issue arises causing significant public interest or significant community changes which will be discussed at a meeting other than a regularly scheduled meeting, all reasonable attempts will be made by the Town Council Members to have the meeting video recorded and shown as soon as possible on a local public cable channel. Two copies of all meetings so videorecorded, shall be given to the Town Clerk, to be maintained as an archival record of said meetings and available to the public for review.
