Town council appoints Kate Kelly as Conservation Commission alternate through 2027
Summary
At its May 7 meeting the Bedford Town Council appointed Kate Kelly to a vacant alternate seat on the Conservation Commission, filling a slot vacated when James Murray was elevated to a full member; the vote was 7-0.
The Bedford Town Council on May 7 appointed Kate Kelly to the Conservation Commission as an alternate member with a term to expire in 2027.
Councilor Bill Carter moved the appointment, and Councilor Becky Soule seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous voice vote, 7-0.
Background: The alternate seat opened after James (Jim) Murray was moved up to a full member at the council’s prior meeting. The council told the meeting it had another applicant from the prior appointment process who remained willing to serve and recommended that applicant for the vacancy.
Why it matters: The appointment restores the Conservation Commission’s alternate roster and continues the commission’s ability to consider land-use and conservation matters with a full complement of designated alternates.
Meeting record: The motion was offered by Councilor Bill Carter; the transcript records a second and a unanimous vote. Councilors offered no conditions attached to the appointment.
