Thanks Ken for your insight.
That said, are we premature in our discussions? We should follow the town’s lead, especially if we expect them to contribute.

The expectation is that, long term, there will be legislation amending the Public Meeting Law to permanently provide for in-person, hybrid, and fully remote public meetings.
