She also explained that the policy regarding conduct at public meetings arose from disturbances TB 2026-01-12 (Filed 1/22) Pg. 9 at recent meetings during controversial topics and people waving signs, interrupting speakers, and not understanding the difference between public hearings and persons to be heard and who is considered “public” vs “applicants” or similar and when they were permitted to speak and to whom. Ms. Bleiwas agreed that general decorum is necessary, but she was uncomfortable with determining in advance that someone would be charged with disorderly conduct. It is not the province of the Board to determine; it might not be appropriate. That it is up to law enforcement and the district attorney. There may be a more serious charge in some cases, or no charges at all. Not stating specific charges does not preclude charging people and she offered an amendment to strike the references to charges or the NYS Penal Code, and as it stands, it is not who we are, and we shouldn’t be anticipating that situation in writing. The Board agreed that removing the references does not preclude any action and it makes the policy sound less mean. TB Resolution 2026 - 010: Approval and adoption of revised Records Management Policy and Procedures and new Rules of Conduct at Public Meetings and Rules for Public Comments Whereas the Records Management Advisory Board reviewed and recommended changes to the Records Management Policy and Procedures to reflect current processes and exemptions from the adopted retention schedule, and Whereas the Personnel and Organizational Committee reviewed and recommended a new policy for Rules of Conduct at Public Meetings and Rules for Public Comments to better inform the public of expectations during public meetings, now, therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board approves and adopts the revised Records Management Policy and Procedure and the new Rules of Conduct at Public Meetings and Rules for Public Comments as submitted, effective immediately.
