[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of Lyme 9-17-1993 by Ord. No. 93-1; amended 12-10-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-4. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that meetings of the Town and its boards and commissions are held during hours that neither put an unreasonable burden on members of such bodies nor make the meetings virtually inaccessible to the public.
Meetings of the Town of Lyme and its boards and commissions shall consist of the following: Lyme Town Meetings and meetings of the Selectmen, Planning and Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, Finance Board, Library Board, Lyme Cemetery Commission, Recreation Commission, the Conservation Commission and Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency and any other boards or commissions specified by the Board of Selectmen.
All meetings of the Town of Lyme and its boards and commissions shall recess at no later than 11:30 p.m. unless a majority of the members present vote to extend the meeting. Any such board or commission, so recessed, shall be reconvened at a time and date set by the members in attendance.
