Wilton Board of Selectmen Makes Priority of Adding Transparency

The Wilton Board of Selectmen expects to finalize a new set of procedures at its Oct. 4 meeting.

Over the past 10 months, the Wilton Board of Selectmen has made a priority of adding transparency and options to the pathway for service on town boards and commissions. Initiatives have included creating a petitioning option for residents not affiliated with one of the two major political parties, clarifying the path for those affiliated with the two parties, posting open positions on the town website and announcing openings at Wilton Board of Selectmen meetings and to the press.

The Wilton Board of Selectmen expects to finalize a new set of procedures at our Oct. 4 meeting. To assist us in doing so, in August, we invited the public to weigh in by sharing comments and recommendations. We hope to hear from more of you during this final week of the comment period. Current procedures are viewable through a link on the town's homepage or by obtaining a copy at Wilton Town Hall. Email your thoughts to boardofselectmen@wiltonct.org, or mail or bring your letter to us at Wilton Town Hall at 238 Danbury Rd.
