LIVERMORE Selectpersons decided Monday to wait until April 26 to determine the format of the annual Town Meeting.
Aaron Miller, administrative assistant to selectpersons, said selectpersons have the right to determine whether to have an open meeting or vote at the polls.
Under the governor’s order, notice must be given at least 30 days before the annual Town Meeting referendum, which would be May 8 if it was held June 9 or 10, he said. A public hearing is required 10 days before the meeting and the warrant must be posted seven days before the meeting, he noted.
“The traditional time is 60 or more days,” Miller noted. “I don’t know how long this Executive Order is going to last.”
