Meeting Changes
During the height of COVID-19, the Town live-streamed all committee meetings as they must be made available to the public. Some committees are returning to in-person meetings. This will change what the Town live-streams as we transition back to our standard format.

  • Town Council is meeting in-person and will be live-streamed per usual.
  • Committees that conduct their meetings over video conference will be live-streamed on the Town's YouTube channel.
  • Committees that conduct their meetings in-person where the public can attend will not be live-streamed.

Agendas are available here and will reference the location of the meeting. Meeting dates, times, and locations sometimes change. Before planning to attend a meeting, check our website.
