Regular meetings focus on action items, departmental reports, and other business. Both meetings are open to the public and held in the Hilda B. Palmer Board Room in Town Hall, located at 460 South Salisbury Avenue. A printed copy of the entire agenda packet is available in the H. B. Palmer Board Room for public use.
