To review and amend or revise the current charter for the Town of East Windsor in the manner prescribed by Connecticut General Statutes and to present a final recommendation to the Board of Selectmen no later than February 1, 2006.
An idea of what might come before them this session was discussed. It will be important to meet with the various agencies and department heads to get ideas of problem areas and what is suggested by way of revision. The Connecticut General Statute parameters mandate two public hearings, one before any substantive changes are made and one after the Committee has completed a report. While two are mandated, it is not limited to holding only two, they can have additional public hearings if they feel it is necessary.
