New Shoreham coastal resilience committee reappoints Judy as chair, names Claire vice chair and approves Dec. 3 minutes
Summary
The New Shoreham Coastal Resilience Committee voted to reappoint Judy as chair through December and to name Claire vice chair; members also approved the committee minutes from Dec. 3.
The New Shoreham Coastal Resilience Committee voted to reappoint Judy as chair and to name Claire vice chair, and it approved meeting minutes from Dec. 3.
The votes took place during the committee’s regular meeting; Nigel moved to reappoint Judy as chair, and a committee member seconded the motion. Members then nominated Claire for vice chair and approved that nomination by voice vote. Earlier in the meeting the committee adopted the December 3 minutes on a motion and voice vote.
Why it matters: Committee leadership steers agendas and staff coordination for coastal resilience work on the island, including upcoming hazard-mitigation and Corn Neck Road projects.
During the discussion Judy said she is willing to continue serving as chair through December but expressed a desire to relinquish administrative duties after that: "I am willing to be the chair until December," Judy said, adding she hopes the committee will identify a new chair next year. Members acknowledged that the chair’s duties include preparing agendas and minutes and occasionally representing the committee at town meetings.
The committee chair and vice chair positions carry administrative responsibilities distinct from ordinary membership; committee members noted the vice chair’s primary duty is to chair meetings when the chair is absent.
No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript; motions were adopted by voice vote with no opposition announced.
The committee’s next regular meetings were noted on the agenda; members also discussed upcoming working-group work and representation at town budget hearings.
