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.
