During the past month, the Town Clerk and Town Attorneys have reviewed the Special Rules and provided the following suggested amendments, deletions and corrections:
1. 1.1 was amended to delete mention to regular meetings prior to certain date and zoning hearings. Both of these provisions are inapplicable.
2. 1.2 was amended to provide for other advertisements, such as those through electronic means, and define 48 hours as two calendar days.
3. 1.3 was amended to specify that all items, unless specifically prohibited, are actionable.
4. 3.1 was amended to correct the order of business as suggested by council and residents.
5. 4.1 removes time constraints on Councilmember debates.
6. 6.8 specifically provides that both managerial and attorneys reports may be actionable.
7. 6.9 was found redundant, in light of Section 5, and was removed in its entirety.
Other minor grammatical and structural changes were made through out the document. Deletions will appear as strike-throughs and additions underlined.
