The Board listens intently to the testimony being given from
a packed Town Hall, spilling out into the hall.
Through conflict comes drama, but this was not to be the occasion for it. The public hearing on Chapter 275 Amendments played out as a civilized and useful discourse between Environmentalists, Property Owners, Attorneys and Expeditors, in a packed Town hall where every seat was taken, and more listened in the hall.
Result: The Public Hearing was closed, both for oral testimony and written statements, but no vote was taken. At the time of writing, the Board was deliberating whether or not to vote tonight or table the vote for two weeks to allow for further consultation with Trustees, with a view to making changes in the light of some persuasive arguments made during the course of the hearing.
Other news: We have run out of copies of the “LWRP for Dummies” Newsletter and SoutholdVOICE bumper stickers are also proving very popular!
UPDATE Dec 9th: Board meeting with Trustees set for Monday December 10th at 5.30pm – for further information from Scott Russell, click “comments” below this post.
