Governance Review Committee

The Witches Woods Tax District Board has formed a "Governance Review Committee" for the purpose of reviewing the existing Restrictions and Covenants, Rules and Regulations, Ordinances, and Governance structure. The committee will identify areas where there are redundancies, obsolete conditions, and regulations already covered by either State of Connecticut or Town of Woodstock statutes. The committee will submit their findings and recommendations to the Witches Woods Tax District Board in the Spring of 2011.

Although the committee has already commenced work, we are looking for a property owner who does not have waterfront property to join the committee. This will ensure we include the perspective in the review of people who do not have waterfront property.
If you are a property owner who does not have waterfront property and would be interested in serving on the Governance Review Committee please contact Steve Heath at 860-670-5179 or heathsn@comcast.net.
