Groton Town Council Rules & Procedures Committee - 4/28/26

The Groton Town Council Rules & Procedures Committee met on April 28, 2026, to discuss amendments to council rules. The committee recommended a resolution to amend Rule 11 regarding citizens petitions, specifying that special meetings held as replacements for canceled regularly scheduled town council meetings must include citizens petitions. This amendment applies only to the 12 regularly scheduled monthly meetings filed with the Secretary of State, not to other special meetings. The committee also considered an amendment to Rule 2D concerning attendance and rejoining executive sessions, but this motion was unanimously rejected as members felt it was unnecessary given their current orderly management of executive sessions. No procurement, contracting, or budget matters were discussed during this meeting.
