From loretic at BATTELLE.ORG Wed Jan 4 22:41:49 2006 From: loretic at BATTELLE.ORG (Loreti, Christopher P) Date: Thu Jan 5 12:57:41 2006 Subject: [Town Meeting] Warrant Article for Your Review Message-ID: <21E89FFC7807854FB7CA0569845A3541012EE42F@ws-bco-mse5.milky-way.battelle.org> Fellow Town Meeting Members, With warrant season upon us, I thought it might be useful to share with you a warrant article before I submit it for inclusion in the warrant. The purpose for this is to solicit your feedback in hopes of improving the article early in the process and hopefully facilitate its eventual consideration as a Town Meeting vote. Here it is: --Posting of Meeting and Hearing Notices and Agendas on the Town Web Site-- To see if the Town will vote to amend its Bylaw to require that no later than the earliest time Town boards, committees, and commissions post notice of their meetings and hearings in accordance with state and local open meeting laws, they also post notice of such meetings and hearings in the calendar section of the Town web site. An agenda for each meeting and hearing shall be posted to the Town web site and linked to the notice of the meeting not less than 24 hours before the meeting or hearing is scheduled to begin. For hearing notices that are published in a local newspaper, the full text of such notices shall be posted to the Town web site and linked to the notice of the hearing no later than the time of publication in the local newspaper. Posting of the full text of a hearing notice published in a local newspaper shall be deemed to fulfill the requirement for posting an agenda provided that no other business is to be conducted by the board, committee, or commission before or after the hearing; or take any action related thereto. Please send any comments you may have to me at the email address below. I'll hold off till next Wednesday on finalizing the text and gathering signatures. Thanks for considering this. Happy New Year!
