Planning commissioners approve Steven Rowe to fill Zone 5 vacancy
Summary
The Town of Stratford Planning Commission voted 3–0 with one abstention to appoint Steven Rowe of 200 Salton Street to fill the Zone 5 seat. Commissioner Maxwell Doolin abstained, saying he had not had time to research the nominee.
At a special meeting, the Town of Stratford Planning Commission appointed Steven Rowe to fill a vacancy in Zone 5.
Alec Ficola moved "to nominate Mister Steven Rowe of 200 Salton Street to fill the fifth planning commission district vacancy," and the motion was seconded. The commission then opened discussion before voting.
Commissioner Maxwell Doolin, who identified himself as the commissioner for Zone 2, said he was newly seated and that the nominee’s name "was not on the notice" so he "didn't have time to do my research." Doolin said he would not vote in the negative and declined to vote in favor, recording an abstention.
The chair called the vote. Vocal "aye" votes were recorded totaling three in favor, with one abstention. The chair announced, "3 in favor 1 abstention," and declared the nomination approved.
The chair congratulated Commissioner Rowe and instructed him to visit the town clerk's office during business hours to be sworn in; Rowe will be seated at the commission’s next meeting. The commission then moved to adjourn; the motion carried and the meeting was closed.
The transcript does not specify the names of the commissioners who voted "aye."
