Operative Text
The Town Board may, on its own initiative or on petition, amend, supplement or repeal the provisions of this chapter in conformity with applicable law after public notice and hearing.

Any such change must follow applicable law and must be preceded by public notice and a public hearing.

Under Spencer Code § 69-9, the rules governing this chapter are not fixed permanently—the Town Board retains authority to revise them through a formal public process. Property owners and managers who want to track potential regulatory changes can monitor Town Board agendas and public hearing notices, since any amendment must be publicly noticed before it takes effect. Operators who wish to advocate for a change to Chapter 69 may do so by submitting a petition to the Town Board under this provision.

Section 69-9 gives tenants and community members a formal avenue to seek changes to Spencer's Chapter 69 housing regulations by petitioning the Town Board directly. Because any amendment requires public notice and a hearing, tenants have an opportunity to attend and comment before any change to their protections takes effect. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to participate in the public hearing process or how to organize a petition under this provision.
