The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: most members of the Town Council, selected guests, and Town Administration personnel were in the Council Chambers, one member of the Council was remote along with the public via Zoom conference bridge, all to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.

I’ve split the full two hour forty five minutes meeting into three logical segments segments:

• First - covers the opening through Finance and borrowing update (53 minutes)
• Second - covers the storm water utility fee (1 hour and 12 minutes)
• Third - covers the SubCommittee reports through to the close of the meeting (approx. 40 mins)

The show notes contain links to the meeting agenda including documents released for this agenda.

Let’s listen to this segment of the Town Council meeting of Feb 3, 2021
