WOODSTOCK — Selectmen began a discussion Tuesday on when and how to hold the annual town meeting as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread.
Last year’s meeting was postponed from late March to July and held outside the Town Office while voters stayed in their cars and spoke via portable microphones.
With the pandemic more widespread now, and the future uncertain regarding vaccinations, selectmen are considering again delaying the meeting.
“It’s going to be like this for a while,” Chairman Ron Deegan said.
They discussed possibly repeating last year’s method in April or May, though there was concern a delay could impact the ability to get bids and make plans for summer roadwork, including a planned bridge replacement.
