Rehoboth Town Meeting Set for September
Posted
The Board of Selectmen has set September 30 as the date for the Fall Town Meeting. Financial matters and codification of the town bylaws are the only warrant articles to be voted on.
On May 13, the Board of Selectmen removed a warrant article which would have codified revisions of the town’s bylaws. Town Clerk Laura Schwall had intended for residents to adopt the changes at the June 4 Spring Town Meeting.
Chairman Skip Vadnais claimed the board lacked sufficient time to review the changes and vowed to revisit them in the fall.
In the final draft, it states the following:
- The following titles are amended to read "Treasurer-Collector" when referring to the Town Treasurer and Town Collector: Treasurer, Collector, Treasurer/Collector, Tax Collector, and Collector of Taxes.
- References to the "Zoning Board" and "Board of Appeals" are amended to read "Zoning Board of Appeals."
- References to the "Building Inspector" and "Inspector of Buildings" are amended to read "Building Commissioner."
- References to the "Superintendent of Streets" are amended to read "Highway Superintendent."
Another change extends the duration of appointments made by the Board of Selectmen from one year to three years.
