Mayor asks supervisors and counsel to meet before November after Cheverly hearing; no vote taken

The mayor closed the public hearing on CAR 2-26 without a vote and directed the Board of Elections Supervisors and the town attorney to meet before the November town meeting to work out the draft language. The mayor said, depending on counsel's advice, the council may either introduce the resolution on first reader in November or hold another public hearing and bring the first reader at a later meeting (December or January).

Council member John emphasized there is no immediate need to rush because the next election where the mayoral and council cycles align would not occur until 2031. The clerk will continue to accept public input on the draft under the public hearing guidelines. The hearing was formally closed and the council reconvened later that evening for its regular meeting.
