Longer-form draft.
At the July 14 Select Board meeting, two key issues stood out regarding transparency and community input. First, the Board discussed a recent Open Meeting Law (OML) complaint and a request for a legal extension to respond to it. This discussion was not included on the public agenda, meaning residents were not given prior notice that a legal complaint involving town operations would be addressed during the session. Second, the Board voted 0-5 against holding a Fall Town Meeting in September, October, or November. While town staff noted there were no immediate 'burning needs' requiring a meeting, the decision comes amid resident inquiries and emails expressing interest in town meetings to address previous outcomes. Finally, residents used public comment to demand more accountability regarding town decorum and the code of conduct. While the Board Chair acknowledged these concerns, the meeting did not result in a specific procedural plan to address the requested changes to the town warrant. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/sudbury/select-board/2026-07-14/ #MeetingWatch #SudburyMA
