Greenland Conservation Commission reappoints chair, vice chair; moves permit review to May
Summary
At its April 9 meeting the Greenland Conservation Commission reorganized leadership, approved minutes and voted to continue review of a conditional use permit for 24 Shore Drive to May 14. Members also discussed outreach, volunteer events and budgeting needs.
The Greenland Conservation Commission on April 9 reappointed Kathleen Babin Johnson as chair and named Cindy Hunnell vice chair, approved meeting minutes and voted to continue review of the conditional use permit for 24 Shore Drive to a May meeting.
The commission conducted its annual reorganization early in the meeting. A motion was made and seconded to nominate Kathleen Babin Johnson as chair; members then confirmed the appointment by voice vote. Cindy Hunnell was nominated and confirmed as vice chair. The group also agreed to keep the secretary role informal and to continue circulating minutes to staff for recordkeeping.
Why it matters: the chair and vice chair are the commission’s principal contacts for town departments, and leadership decisions affect who represents the commission to other boards and to the public.
The commission took formal action on an outstanding application for a conditional use permit at 24 Shore Drive (Map R18 Lot 6). Members voted to continue the review to the commission’s May meeting, with the date given in discussion as May 14. Commissioners noted at the meeting that the applicant had requested a continuance.
Members also approved minutes from February meetings (identified in discussion as Feb. 12 and Feb. 13) by motions from commission members who were present at those meetings.
The meeting closed after a range of agenda and other-business items including outreach planning, volunteer coordination, and budget tracking.
