What's on this agenda

This is not a regular legislative session: it's a two-day Town Council strategic retreat. Day 1 (evening of January 9) is a reconnection session covering the town's mission and values, introductions, and a "L.O.C.A.L. audit" discussion of priorities. Day 2 (January 10, full day) is a strategy workshop where Council reviews progress against current strategic priorities and works through setting new ones in three stages.

No ordinances, contracts, or public hearings are on this agenda, and no votes are expected — it's facilitated planning and discussion among Councilmembers.

Meeting recap

What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting. Minutes

The town filed final minutes for this session and they record no business: a heading, a date and nothing else. The retreat was a working session rather than a legislative one, so there was nothing to minute, and the summary above describes what was scheduled rather than what was decided. Nothing on file says what came out of it.
