The draft agenda for today’s Select Board meeting is available here.
Among other things, the Select Board will be soliciting feedback on the proposed Town Hall sign policy and will conduct a hearing for a Special Amusement permit requested by the owners of Barncastle.
During its last two Monday meetings, the Select Board has discussed the adoption of a new policy governing the placement of signs on Town Hall property. As noted during those meetings, the Town has been operating under a 1999 memorandum appearing to prohibit temporary signs on the property, but this “policy” was not clearly in effect and was not well defined.
Attached is a draft policy governing signs on the property, which has been reviewed by the Town Attorney and, in general, is not intended to modify the existing understanding. But it is more specific, and reflects the reality of recent practice, so it does represent a change.
As you will note, there are still some blanks in the policy, and certain elements are still being discussed amongst the Select Board members. So the ultimate policy adopted (if any) will reflect those discussions, completion of the missing information, and feedback from the public before and during the July 28 Select Board meeting.
Interested parties are welcome to provide their comments in person at the July 28 Select Board meeting or via email to selectboard@bluehillme.gov prior to that meeting.
