Summary
Councilor David Smith has spent months alleging the council's pre-6 p.m. meetings violated the Town Charter and Right-to-Know law. Attorney Matthew Serge explained that early meetings are allowed if properly noticed, that no legal consequences attach to breaking Rules of Procedure, and that reply-all emails can create an illegal quorum. The council agreed to a 'non-meeting' with counsel to dig in further.
