Commission records Joel Strong’s resignation, seats John Urban and seeks partisan-balanced alternates
Summary
The commission acknowledged Joel Strong’s resignation (noted to the commission by a Board of Selectmen message), seated John Urban as a full member for the meeting, and discussed finding unaffiliated or Republican alternates to maintain required political balance.
During communications the commission read a resignation letter from Joel Strong; a message from the Board of Selectmen (Jason Hayes) advised the board had accepted the resignation and elevated Paula from alternate to full member. The chair then formally announced seating John Urban as a member for tonight’s meeting.
Later in the agenda members discussed filling Paula’s alternate vacancy and possibly additional alternates. Members noted the commission bylaws require political balance and asked staff to look for unaffiliated or Republican candidates to fill alternate positions. The commission agreed staff would pursue potential candidates and would follow up by email to determine if a special meeting could be arranged when needed.
