[Adopted 6-30-1980 (Ch. 2, Art. I, § 2-3, of the 1990 Code)]
The Board of Selectmen is directed by the Charter to act for
the preservation of the good order, health, welfare and safety of
the Town and its inhabitants.
Except as otherwise limited by statute, Charter or ordinance,
the Board of Selectmen shall make such rules and regulations as it
deems necessary, governing the use and care of all properties, buildings,
apparatus and equipment owned by the Town.
A.
No such rule
or regulation shall become effective or be established or amended
until after a public hearing in relation thereto held by a majority
of the members of the Board of Selectmen at which parties in interest
and citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard. Notice of the
time and place of such hearings shall be published in a newspaper
having substantial circulation in the Town at least twice at intervals
of not less than two days, the first not more than 15 days and the
last not less than two days, before such hearing, and a copy of such
proposed rule or regulation shall be filed in the office of the Town
Clerk for public inspection at least 10 days before such hearing.
Such rules and regulations may, from time to time, be amended, changed
or repealed by the Board of Selectmen by a majority vote of the Board
of Selectmen. All such rules and regulations shall become effective
at such time as is fixed by the Board of Selectmen, provided a copy
of such rule or regulation is filed in the office of the Town Clerk
and a notice of the Board of Selectmen's decision shall have been
published in a newspaper having substantial circulation in the Town
before such effective date.
B.
All rules
and regulations adopted pursuant to this section shall be in addition
to, and not in limitation of, any other provisions of the Connecticut
General Statutes and ordinances of the Town concerning the use and
regulation of properties, buildings, apparatus and equipment owned
by the Town.
