Council hires SMPDC to update ordinances to comply with state housing laws
The council approved a proposal from SMPDC to audit local ordinances and recommend modifications to comply with new state housing laws. Chair O'Neil said SMPDC "anticipates a 6 to 8 month timeline for this work, and the town must have the updated ordinances adopted by 07/01/2027."

The contract amount was $8,366 charged to the planning professional engineering account, and council members moved and seconded the item and voted 5-0 to approve. Chair O'Neil noted the town has previously worked with SMPDC on ordinance updates and planning efforts.
