Select Board fills multiple vacancies on airport commission, planning board and trusts
Summary
The Rangeley Select Board appointed members and alternates to its airport commission, the H. A. Fergus Trust, planning board and several ad-hoc committees, filling several three-year terms and one-year appointments.
The Rangeley Select Board appointed multiple volunteers to local boards and committees on July 10, filling seats on the airport commission, appointing members to the planning board, and naming trustees and ad-hoc committee members.
Why it matters: Board and commission appointments determine who will oversee airport operations, planning reviews and trust administration, affecting local permitting, capital projects and trust management.
Appointments approved included a three-year appointment for Larry Koop to the airport commission and three-year terms for Martha Flaming, and additional members and alternates to complete the commission’s membership. The board also appointed Tracy LaVoy to the H. A. Fergus Trust (term ending 06/30/28), named Nick Ledley to an ad-hoc committee for a one-year term, and appointed members to the planning board and other committees with terms expiring in 2028. Motions to appoint Ronald Haynes and Neil King as alternates to the airport commission carried.
Board members discussed residency and property-ownership criteria in the airport commission bylaws; staff read the new bylaw language that allows a five-member commission composed of at least three residents and up to two nonresident taxpayers, each appointed to three-year terms. The board deferred some residency-verification questions to staff for follow-up.
Ending: With appointments made, the town will proceed to staff support for the newly constituted boards and publish openings for remaining vacancies as part of outreach.
