Selectboard discusses website updates, ADA accessibility and abandoned-vehicle procedures

Committee member (S4) raised the state requirement to make municipal websites ADA-accessible by 2027 and asked whether the town site meets that standard; Chair (S1) said core accessibility features exist but recommended reviewing captions and explanatory elements and offered to have staff explore additional accessibility work.

Separately, Chair (S1) reported an abandoned vehicle that had been on town property for over two weeks was removed and reminded the board that the standard procedure is to contact state police, provide VIN and vehicle details, and then arrange for towing through contracted firms. Committee members agreed to document the process for future incidents and to circulate links to specific outdated pages to Paul for prompt updating.

Why it matters: Updating the town website for ADA compliance is required by state timelines and documenting procedures for abandoned vehicles clarifies administrative steps and ensures consistent enforcement.
