2026 Monthly Planning Board Meeting Materials

In an effort to maintain full transparency and to keep the community informed, we are providing links to agendas as well as to meeting minutes. Draft agendas will be published in draft format for the community to review the Monday before the monthly meeting. Minutes from regular meetings will be posted as DRAFT during the 3rd and 4th week after a meeting. Meeting minutes will only be marked FINAL after the Planning Board has approved those minutes at their next meeting. You may contact the Planning Board Secretary with any questions you may have about these records.
