  2. Previous Meeting Wrap-up

    • 6:00: Recap of abrupt previous meeting closure

      General Discussion...
      Last month's meeting was adjourned abruptly due to a town-wide internet outage. All pertinent discussions are to be continued at this meeting.

  3. Old Business

    • 6:05PM: Short Term Rentals/Bed and Breakfast Public Outreach Follow-Up Discussion - Discuss the path forward based on public input.

      General Discussion...
      Grgory suggests that we obtain a clear request (like a charging statement) from the interested parties in the town as to what the objective is of creating/editing our short term rental bylaw. He would also like to hear from the town as to how many short term rental units currently exist in the town.

      David has written up a draft proposal of a new short term rental bylaw as a starting point for discussion and working draft. Board members will review it and bring comments and suggestions to the next meeting.

  4. New Business

    • 6:30PM: Annual Report

      General Discussion...
      Sara will use previous report submissions to create a new report in a similar format.
