Discussion of Proposed Amendments to Two Town Bylaws

The Select Board is proposing changes to two Town Bylaws at the 2024 Annual Town Meeting. 

In summary, they are:

Hunting Bylaw - Amendments propose that hunting on Town-owned property would no longer be allowed by Select Board approval. 

The current Hunting Bylaw with proposed amendments can be found here.

Animal Bylaw - Bylaw amendments propose that dogs must be physically leashed on Town property instead of under voice control.

The current Animal Bylaw with proposed changes can be found here.

Public comment is sought by participation in the March 11, 2024 Select Board Meeting beginning at 7:15 and/or by email to selectboard@wnewbury.org prior to the meeting.  Meeting attendance/participation may be in-person or via Zoom.  (The Zoom link will be included on the agenda to be posted to the Town website and in the Town Offices on March 7th).

The Board will provide additional opportunities for public comment regarding these proposed bylaw changes as we get closer to Town Meeting.
