Coverage notes
Council activity is rebuilt from the official minutes of the July 13, August 3 and September 14, 2026 regular meetings (read from scanned documents, so spellings are hedged). The town does not publish agendas and no meeting video has been found. The Council meets on Mondays at 6:00 PM in the Municipal Building; the minutes are brief and record motions and votes but little discussion.
