Ms. Manugian seconded the motion. Mr. Alan Hoch said he was grateful to hear the support for this adding he thought the transparency was better for the Town. He said he thought there should be some way of alerting the public of changes to the packet. Mr. Jack Petropoulos said he was grateful this was brought back up. He asked that updates be made after the meeting also. Mr. Degen said that as soon as policies and procedures were updated, they were added to the website already and asked why it would need to be attached to the minutes. Mr. Petropoulos said he didn't care how they were attached. Mr. Degen said that the minutes were an accurate record, but asked if a draft was amended, it could be referenced it in their minutes. Mr. Giger suggested that they limit what they were going to do in this first step and explore other possibilities. Mr. Giger said that they would unfold this for the October 7th meeting. Mr. Haddad said that they would post the first one this Friday, September 20th. Mr. Degen asked if this should be turned into a policy. It was decided to do that. The motion carried unanimously..” (Motion: Pine, second: Manugian)
