Benton III, Susan Benton and Felicia Benton and to renew shellfish grant licenses #85J and #85J-A for a ten year period. Wood read the public notice. Wood moved and Donovan seconded a motion to reconsider the November 22, 2005 vote to approve this transfer and renewal. Shellfish Constable Andy Koch noted that at the last hearing it was thought that Susan Benton was no longer a domiciled resident and her name was erroneously removed from the license; he has since learned that she remains a domiciled resident and does not agree with the request to add Felicia Benton’s name to the license. He recommended that
grant licenses #85J and #85J-A continue to read Alfred E. Benton III and Susan Benton and Felicia Benton not be added at this time. The Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion. On a motion by Wilson, seconded by Wood, the Board voted unanimously to renew grant licenses #85J and #85J-A for a ten year period.
