Committee member (S2) told the board that zoning administrator Keith Arland has stepped down due to a family illness and that Larry Stevens — who serves as ZA in Bridport — may be willing to provide coverage. S2 said she had spoken with Stevens and scheduled a meeting for the 21st to discuss whether he could help as an interim ZA; the board agreed it would be useful to get a short quarterly report from whoever performs ZA duties going forward so the town has clearer documentation in the minutes.
