This website is a supplement to the information and the services available from Town Hall. Furthermore, the Town through this website seeks to expand public involvement in Town matters and to raise public awareness on matters critical to the smooth operation of government. 

The Town reserves the right to determine what information and services shall and shall not be placed on this website.

PROVISIONS

A.     Accuracy

The Town strives to present current and accurate information on this website, but does not guarantee the accuracy or currency of information posted here. In the event of a significant difference between the information on this website and official information available at Town Hall, the official information should prevail.

B.     Email Comments on Public Hearings

Comments on public hearing items that are submitted by email will NOT automatically become part of the official record of such proceedings, unless required by law.
