Clean Water Advisory Committee approves membership changes, minutes and elects vice chair
Summary
The Clean Water Advisory Committee voted to make several non-municipal members non‑voting, approved corrected September minutes with two abstentions, and elected Tom Joslin as vice chair for FY25.
At its Oct. 1, 2024 meeting, the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission’s Clean Water Advisory Committee approved a motion to change several non‑municipal members to non‑voting status, approved corrected minutes from Sept. 3 with two abstentions, and elected Tom Joslin as vice chair for fiscal year 2025.
Dan Albrecht summarized a staff recommendation to alter committee voting membership by removing voting status from three watershed groups, three non‑municipal MS4s and Vermont ANR so that quorum requirements better reflect committee operations. Keith Oborne moved the change; Lisa Schaeffler seconded, and the minutes record the motion as approved unanimously.
Committee members then reviewed September 3 draft minutes. Dan Koenemann moved to approve the minutes with a correction to remove one person named “Chelsea” from the attendance list; Lisa Schaeffler seconded. The motion passed with Bruce Wilson and Keith Oborne recorded as abstentions; individual yes/no votes or counts were not specified in the minutes.
For committee leadership, Annie Costandi solicited nominations for vice chair. Keith Oborne nominated Tom Joslin; Lisa Schaeffler seconded. The motion carried and Tom Joslin was elected vice chair for FY25.
The minutes do not show full roll-call vote tallies for the membership change or vice chair election; where abstentions were recorded (minutes approval), those members are named. No further formal actions were taken.
