Amherst residents will
have an opportunity to respond to the specific proposals for changing Amherst
government that the Amherst Charter Commission has developed in response to
input from many residents, Amherst town staff, elected officials and
committees, as well as perspectives and beliefs of the individual
commissioners. The first round of
“listening workshops” sought broad input on any and all topics of concern and
passion to participants. This
round of workshops seeks input on very specific proposals coming out of
Commission deliberations, proposals focused primarily on executive and
legislative functions as well as on public participation.
All workshops will be
held in the Jones Library Woodbury Room (basement of the Jones library). They are scheduled for different times
of day in hopes there will be a time that is convenient for most people. Modest refreshments will be serviced.
