Council asks administrator to invite Stonebridge Fire District to planning board meeting on water concerns
Summary
Council directed the administrator to contact Stonebridge Fire District in writing and encourage its attendance at a June 16 planning‑board meeting to answer residents’ questions about water infrastructure tied to proposed development. The motion passed unanimously.
Councelor de Madurus asked the council to urge the Stonebridge Fire District Water Department to attend a planning‑board meeting on June 16 to respond to public questions about water availability and infrastructure related to a proposed development.
The council voted to direct the town administrator to send a written request encouraging Stonebridge to appear. Supporters said Stonebridge’s participation would allow the planning board and concerned residents—many of whom are customers—to ask technical questions that an engineering consultant paid by a developer could not fully answer. The administrator will send the written request and report back to the council on the district’s response.
Why it matters: Planning board decisions about new development frequently hinge on reliable water service and infrastructure answers. The council framed the step as an effort to improve public dialogue by bringing a utility representative into the public meeting.
What’s next: Administrator Jones will transmit a formal written invitation to Stonebridge and the council will monitor whether the district commits to attend the June 16 planning‑board meeting.
