Public commenter accuses Weston Selectboard of incomplete response to Open Meeting Law complaints

Resident Ken Hall presented a written statement criticizing the Selectboard's Sept. 3 response to Open Meeting Law complaints as "incomplete and misleading," asserting that decisions to hold a special election were made in private and that calls for Selectboard resignations and an ethics complaint were omitted from prior minutes.

Hall pressed for timelines for promised minute corrections and the policies the board pledged to prepare to comply with the Open Meeting Law and the Municipal Code of Ethics. The Selectboard accepted his submission and agreed to review it; no formal remedy or revised minute text was adopted at the Sept. 22 meeting. The minutes record that some earlier minutes remain under review and that the board has begun corrections dating back to January meetings but that outstanding items remain to be completed.
