[Massplanners] Planning Board Policy for Submission of Meeting Materials

[Harry LaCortiglia]

That's the firm policy in Georgetown.

One week prior, or it doesn't get discussed at the meeting.

Period.

No one likes to have a 30 page report dropped into their inbox at 5PM, 
for a meeting to be held at 7:00.
