The following letter was sent to the Amherst Town Council on May 5, 2026.
Questions:
- Is there a place where town residents can follow the workings of the Amherst DPW Committee?
- The DPW Building Committee website posts links for Agendas, Minutes, Packets, and Recordings, but except for agendas, they are all empty.
- Is there a reason why meetings cannot be at least audio-recorded, so those who cannot attend mid-day meetings can be informed?
Also there have been several communications about these questions addressed to members of the DPW Committee and to Town Hall with no responses.
