Board agrees candidate Robert Schindler should appear before selectmen before formalizing Board of Adjustment appointment

At the Sept. 17 meeting the Greenland Board of Selectmen discussed filling a vacancy on the Board of Adjustment created by the resignation of Jurado.

Unidentified Speaker 3 announced, "Gentleman named Robert Schindler will serve on the board," and said Schindler had applied for the vacancy. Several members questioned whether appointees should appear before the board for a brief introduction or interview. Unidentified Speaker 7 and others said it has been customary for candidates to "come before the board" so members can put a face to a name; Unidentified Speaker 3 and others acknowledged the point and agreed to have Schindler attend a future meeting.

The board did not complete a final appointment vote during the provided transcript. Members discussed procedural norms: some said in past practice the town has applicants meet board members, while others noted that an appointment can be made without a prior appearance. The board's direction in the excerpt was to invite Schindler to the next meeting so members can meet him before voting on a final appointment.

Next step: Robert Schindler is expected to appear at a future Selectmen meeting for introduction; the board will consider formalizing the appointment after members have the opportunity to meet the candidate.

Notes: The transcript identifies the vacancy as a replacement for "Jurado," who resigned. The application is available online, and members advised prospective appointees to attend the meeting in person when possible.
