§ 2-32. Agenda.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The council may by majority vote add items to or subtract items from the proposed agenda; except that the council may not add items to the proposed agenda stated in the notice of a special meeting called by the mayor, mayor pro tempore, or two councilmembers, unless all members are present, or those who are absent sign a written waiver of notice; and only business connected with the emergency may be considered at an emergency meeting. The council should make provision for the public to be able to inspect and copy the agenda package in the town offices.

    (b)

    The council shall not deliberate, vote or otherwise take action on any matter by reference to a letter, number or other designation, or other secret device or method, with the intention of making it impossible for persons attending a meeting of the council to understand what is being deliberated, voted on or acted on. The council may, however, deliberate, vote or otherwise take action by reference to an agenda, if copies of the agenda, sufficiently worded to enable the public to understand what is being deliberated, voted on or acted on are available for public inspection at the meeting.
