The New Fairfield Board of Finance has released a proposed draft public participation policy. It includes a section on public conduct that says participants should refrain from personal attacks and ridicule against the integrity and motives of the board members, employees, presenters and other public participants. The draft policy prohibits drowning out others perspectives in an aggressive, derogatory or intimidating manner. Foul, profane, abusive language, jeering or clapping or cheering would also be prohibited. The proposals stem from residents speaking out at meetings following comments from alternate David Coleman about the special needs community earlier this year. Some in town found the comment to be insensitive, demeaning and disrespectful.
