Discussion on Petitioned Warrant Article #17: [AMEND LONDONDERRY MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE V \u2013 ADMINISTRATIVE CODE CHAPTER III SECTION I.A.] (Chairman, Chad Franz)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nShall the Town vote to amend the Londonderry Municipal Code Title V \u2014 Administrative Code Chapter III Section I. A. to include the Planning Board as elected positions? This would move the Planning Board from being appointed by the Londonderry Town Council to being elected by the citizens of Londonderry. This article is advisory only and will not result in the Planning Board being elected. (BY CITIZENS\u2019 PETITION).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
All members of the public who spoke were neutral or in favor of the article. No residents spoke against the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI have yet to hear anyone tell us why this is a good idea, we have been doing it the same way for 30 years…..certainly we can can continue to look at it, but the way it’s stated, it doesn’t tell people why it’s a good idea<\/em><\/p>\nTown Councilor John Farrell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Town Council did not indicate when, or if, they would look into the details of amending the municipal code as requested by the voters of Londonderry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
