APPOINTMENTS
7:30 pm - Paul Paquin - re: Reappointment to the Conservation Commission
Paul Paquin has been serving on the commission since 1987, he said, and is seeking reappointment to the three-year term.
Hersch questioned him in regard to two issues; a seaweed cleanup at the far end of the alphabet beach, which caused some controversy, and the removal of algae from Straits Pond. Hersch objected to the Conservation Administrator halting the projects, stating that health should come before conservation.
Lampke suggested having the parties come in to meet with the Board so that the Members can have their concerns addressed.
Paquin responded by referring to the Beach Management Plan stating that it should be followed. He agreed that order from the Health Agent takes precedence.
Hersch requested that Lampke meet with Parent, O'Brien and Clerkin to get to the bottom of the matter and to include McNamara on the Straits Pond issue.
MOVED-Hersch: To have them on the agenda
