Fellow Residents of Charlestown,
The January meeting of our Town Council will be held
on Monday, January 9, starting at 7 pm. Some important items of broad
interest will be discussed.
As reported in our summary from the December meeting,
the Town Council will hold a hearing to have the Charter Revision
Advisory Committee be a standing committee rather than only meeting
at the will of the Council. This will, if approved, return the rules
to the way they were prior to 2019. Details here.
The Council will also hold a hearing to consider
increasing the number of members on the Charlestown Climate Resiliency
Commission. Details here.
Two items in the December meeting agenda were tabled
for lack of time and will be discussed at this meeting: 1)
consideration of whether to continue retaining Joseph S. Larisa, Jr.
as Assistant Solicitor for Indian Affairs (details here) and 2) the possible
formation of an Ordinance Revision Committee to Review Charlestown's
Code of Ordinances (details here). Both of these topics
may generate vigorous discussion.
Our new State Representative, Tina Spears, has asked
to discuss Charlestown Legislative priorities with the Council.
Representative Spears will attend to speak. Senator Victoria Gu and
Senator Elaine Morgan have also been invited and will attend. Details here. This could be quite
informative.
The meeting will be held in person at Town Hall but
the video will also be streamed as described on the first page of the
agenda. (People watching the live
stream will not be able to comment or ask questions.)
