Summary

Commissioners discussed filling the vacated seat left by Eric Lamb and a proposal to appoint replacements to finish existing terms in order to re‑establish staggered term expirations. Commissioners agreed to research ordinance constraints and place formal recommendations on the next meeting agenda for trustee action.

The commission reviewed current vacancies and a proposed schedule to rebalance term expirations so not all member terms lapse simultaneously. Members noted Eric Lamb has resigned and discussed appointing incoming members to finish the remainder of existing terms (for example, offering 2‑year appointments to align expirations) so the commission returns to a staggered rotation.

Commissioners cautioned that changing term lengths may interact with the commission ordinance and recommended staff consult with the town manager or legal counsel and place a formal recommendation on the next agenda for trustee consideration. Commissioners also discussed interview logistics for candidates and whether the commission should make formal recommendations or simply forward applicants to the trustees.

Next steps: staff will verify ordinance constraints and bring the agenda item to the next meeting for a formal appointment process and trustee action.
