Commission asks town manager for official email accounts for commissioners

Commissioners discussed records management and FOIA implications of using personal email addresses for Charter Commission business. A council representative noted that town-managed addresses are archived and e-discoverable, which would avoid requiring commissioners to provide personal account contents in litigation. "Everything's archived. It's ediscoverable," one participant said. The commission moved to request town email accounts (for example, chartercommission@townoflisbon.com) and Chair agreed to speak with the town manager about provisioning addresses and distribution lists.
