And there it was left ......

A number of recent misunderstandings have erupted because of foggy memories and faulty recollections of the ZONING REGULATIONS.

The inability to refer to the Town's Web Site to clarify the issue impedes function. Note the recent WRPD Hearings at which the Selectmen were unfamiliar with the contents.

Each inquiry about placing the information on the Town's Web Site is met with the fund raiser created by selling copies.

Was that the intent? Are the funds adequate to supplement the Town Clerk's budget? Is it time to re-visit the issue?

What do other town's do? Take a look:

SELECTMEN’S MEETING
JUNE 2, 2003

Selectwoman Brunelle asked why the zoning regulations have not been put on the internet for the public to download.
Ms. Bernier said they had tried to scan the document into the system, but couldn’t.
Mr. Brunelle explained that the regulations are a "hodge podge" of various letters and Town Meeting actions. He said one of his staff is currently working with the ZBA’s secretary to coordinate and verify the information. He said his department will also deal with the Planning Board to get their regulations on the internet.
Mr. Healey noted that the article is for a revolving account, using money from sales. No appropriation is being made.
Upon motion by Selectwoman Brunelle and seconded by Selectman Rogers, the Board
VOTED: To support Article 11 for a fund of $2500, based on in-house printing being done when possible.
