Meetings are open to the public, but public participation is limited. If you wish to be heard by the Planning Board, please note the two Public Comment portions of the meeting to speak to items on a meeting agenda and/or matters pertaining to the business of the Planning Board. In addition, public hearings may be scheduled for public comment on specific matters. Speakers must be residents of the Town of Barrington, property owners in the Town of Barrington, and/or designated representatives of recognized civic organizations or businesses located in the Town of Barrington. When they are addressed and permitted to speak by the Chair, speakers first need to recite their name and address for the record. Visitors should address their comments to the Chair and the Planning Board as a body and not to any individual member.  Each speaker shall be provided a single opportunity for comment, limited time announced by Chair. Visitors should not expect a response to their comments or questions since the Planning Board may not have discussed or taken a position on a matter. Public Comment is not a two-way dialogue between speaker(s) and Planning Board. The Chair will preserve strict order and decorum at all Planning Board meetings. Obscene, violent, disruptive, disorderly comments, or those likely to induce violence, disruption, or disorder, are not permitted and will not be tolerated. Complaints regarding Town staff should be directed to the Town Administrator.

 

The Planning Board may enter one or multiple nonpublic sessions pursuant to RSA 91-A:3, II.  The public is not permitted to attend nonpublic sessions and will be asked to leave the meeting space.  Nonpublic sessions are allowed for reasons including: Dismissal, promotion, compensation, disciplining, investigation or hiring of a public employee; Matters which would likely adversely affect the reputation of any non-board member; Buying, selling or leasing real or personal property if public discussion would give someone an unfair advantage over the municipality; Lawsuits filed or threatened in writing against the municipality, until fully adjudicated or settled; and Preparation for and carrying out of emergency functions related to terrorism.
