Board adopts first reading of Hailey Pond Dam ad hoc committee bylaws
Summary
The Rangeley Select Board approved the first reading of bylaws to create a temporary Hailey Pond Dam ad hoc committee to study water levels, stakeholder impacts and town responsibilities; the bylaws outline committee composition and scope.
The Rangeley Select Board approved the first reading of bylaws establishing an ad hoc Hailey Pond Dam committee to review dam-related issues including water levels, stakeholder impacts and the town—s authority and responsibilities.
Why it matters: the committee is intended to gather stakeholder input and clarify technical and legal responsibilities related to Hailey Pond Dam, which the manager said the town has "inherited" and for which the town has been performing some duties.
Bylaws and committee composition Staff said the ad hoc committee will follow the town—s standard temporary-committee bylaws used for other ad hoc groups. The draft calls for five members, including a representative from wastewater and citizen taxpayers; the bylaws outline scope, membership and reporting back to the board. The board approved the first reading by motion (moved by an unidentified board member, seconded by Sam) and will return the bylaws for further action at a later meeting.
Other related items The board deferred airport commission bylaws to the next meeting so members could review them in more detail and discussed an airport manager job description that staff will refine with the board.
Ending The ad hoc bylaws will return for final approval at a subsequent meeting after any suggested edits.
