3. Discussion and Possible Action - Legislative Session (Regular Meeting) Policy
(Out of Order)
The Town Board and Town Attorney William Maker Jr. discussed proposed rules for
the legislative (televised) portion of a Town Board meeting. The Board discussed
allowing cell phones but noted they should be silenced or on vibrate mode. Attorney
Maker will update the proposed language.
The Board then discussed limiting the amount of time a resident could comment
during the Resident Comments portion of the meeting. The Board decided that
because residents generally do not make lengthy comments, there was no need to
add any clause limiting a resident's time to comment.
The Town Board discussed having the policy in place before the next Town Board
meeting. However, since no voting is done during work sessions, the Town Board
decided to vote on these new rules at the next Town Board meeting.
