The customary convening of Regular Town Council meetings are systematically scheduled for the second Tuesday of each month, commencing at 5:00 p.m. Board and/or Committee meetings may also be scheduled on the same day. Special Town Council or Emergency meetings may be scheduled in the event of an important matter that cannot wait until the next regularly scheduled Regular Town Council meeting. It is imperative to acknowledge that certain extenuating circumstances may necessitate deviations from this standard schedule. These circumstances encompass, but are not limited to: 

  • September budget hearings
  • Elections
  • Adverse meteorological conditions
  • Insufficient attendance by requisite meeting members 

Such deviations shall be promptly communicated to the public in accordance with established governmental procedures.

Public comments are welcome when the Chair of the meeting opens the floor to the public. Commenters are provided and are limited to four minutes to speak. To be heard by the governing body and the public, those who wish to speak must do so at the podium facing the governing body and must state their name and address prior to making the comment.
