PARIS – In a brief and sparsely attended public hearing Thursday, town officials discussed three ordinances going before voters in June.

Of the three, two exist and are undergoing revision, while a third, a changeable sign ordinance, is new.

The Planning Board ordinance is returning to the table after the deletion of a controversial clause preventing the spouses of municipal officers or the officers themselves from serving on the board. Although that version of the ordinance was drawn up before the election of Glen Young as a selectman, it would have prevented Young’s wife from serving on the Planning Board.

The ordinance was rejected by voters at a special town meeting in September. At a selectmen’s meeting in November, Young and Chairman Ernest Fitts III supported reducing the commitments of Planning Board members from five years to three, but an ordinance with the existing commitments in place was recommended in a 3-2 vote.

The newly created changeable sign ordinance seeks to regulate the frequency of displays on electronic, digital or mechanically changeable signs to promote highway safety. According to state law, such signs may change no more than once every 20 minutes, but the rate can be increased by a town ordinance.

“This is one of the rare occurrences where the town can lessen the state requirements,” said Planning Board Chairman Russell Case.

Under the Paris ordinance, signs may change no more than once every five seconds and are not permitted to flash.

The Budget Committee ordinance revisions include a new provision allowing the committee to declare a seat vacant if a regular member misses three meetings in a year. The wording stresses that the vacancy consideration is an option rather than a requirement.

“If it’s an illness or something, you’re not going to throw someone off,” said committee member Barbara Payne.

The ordinance also reduces the number of alternate members from five to three, and allows selectmen to participate in the review process in a nonvoting role.

The ordinances will go to a referendum vote on June 10.
