Topics of Discussion:
This meeting was held remotely on Zoom.
Carlo Bacci moved to adjourn. Vanessa Alvarado seconded it.
Mr. Bacci noted he does not think they should have the meeting because public comment
was disallowed. Mr. Dockser noted the public could still send emails with their thoughts he
was just not allowing the public to join tonight as this was an added meeting for two specific
topics.
The motion failed with the following roll call vote:
Herrick- no; Alvarado — no; Landry — no; Bacci — yes; Dockser no.
The board first discussed the Board of Health vacancy. It was noted they would reach out to
the rest of the applicants from the last time to ask their interest with the new meeting
times. After that the VASC will meet and then bring forth their candidates to the full board
at their next meeting.
The board then discussed green communities and the stretch code specifically. Karen
Herrick noted she put together some slides for the packet for the boards review. She hopes
the board can sponsor this and get it on the next warrant for November Town Meeting.
The board then discussed getting back into the habit of Select Board hours. They would like
to hold virtual Select Board hours for the public to join if they wish to speak to a member.
Mark Dockser noted he will do Friday, September 41M1 from 9-10 AM. Staff will post the hours
and the zoom information for the public.
Carlo Bacci motioned to adjourn at 7:52 PM. The motion was seconded by Karen
Herrick and approved with the following roll call vote:
Herrick- yes; Alvarado — yes; Landry — yes; Bacci — yes; Dockser yes.
