The Town Council has a packed agenda for the December 11, 2023 council meeting, beginning with administering the Oath of Office to the elected Town Council members, Stephanie P. Anderson and Timothy L. Thompson, and the re-election of School Board members Jennifer L. McVeigh and Cynthia R. Voltz.  Following the Oath of Office, the Council will vote to elect Timothy S. Reiniger as the new Council Chair for 2024.

The Town Council held a caucus on November 14 to select a chair and committee assignments for all Town Council committees.  The council will vote on these assignments within a Consent Calendar for twelve appointments, including Finance Chair.  The full slate is posted on the agenda.  The council will also consider approving the recommendations of the Appointments Committee to appoint residents to serve on various town boards and committees as listed.

Later in the meeting, the council will consider a request from councilor Susan Gillis to reconsider Item #133-2023 Consideration of Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance Relating to LD 2003, which was approved by the council on November 13.  Should a motion to approve the recommendation pass, then the action on the original motion from November 13 must be taken up.  In anticipation of this vote, Reiniger has requested that the agenda include a motion to send his proposed draft LD 2003 amendments to the Planning Board to hold a public meeting and provide recommendations.  Additionally, at the request of Reiniger, the council will consider a motion to rescind Item #133-2023 with a substitute amendment from Reiniger.
