“Move that the Select Board ask the Town Manager to investigate what it would cost to broadcast the majority of our board meetings on PTV Motion: Chair Donegan Second: Select Member Anthony Select Member King - we don't see it until everything is baked and then there is this pressure to approve it. More communication from the committees during the process is going to slow things down, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Vice Chair Andrews - I'm going to vote no, though I agree there is an issue, I don't think taping more meetings is the solution. VOTED In Favor: 4 Opposed: 1 (ca) Abstain:.” (Motion: Donegan, second: Anthony)
