Rangeley zoning board elects chair and vice chair, reviews ethics/bylaws forms
Summary
The Rangeley Zoning Board of Appeals elected Brian St. Louis as chair and Dennis Marquis as vice chair on July 30 and reviewed the town's bylaws and disclosure forms, directing members to return signed policies to staff.
The Rangeley Zoning Board of Appeals elected Brian St. Louis as chair and Dennis Marquis as vice chair during its July 30 meeting and reviewed the town's bylaws and ethics/disclosure forms for the new fiscal year. Board members discussed a historical two-term limit and when jurors or members must disclose conflicts or abstain. The board voted to approve minutes from its Feb. 19, 2025 meeting and directed members to review, sign and return the town's policies and forms to staff outside the meeting. A board member asked whether the town's code of ethics formerly limited chairs to two consecutive terms; the member said the rule had been included in an earlier bylaws document and that a copy had been provided to the town. Another member emphasized that abstentions should be disclosed when a member has a financial interest or other potential conflict. The board agreed members should complete the forms individually and return them to staff; staff said the forms would be collected and noted any changes since the last cycle. The Feb. 19, 2025 minutes were approved by motion. The board did not take additional policy action at this session but established the administrative direction that signed policy acknowledgements be returned to staff.
