The Merrimac Green Advisory Committee said a draft Zero-Emission-Vehicle-First policy, prepared by Dylan Patel, will be presented to the Selectboard and town departments on May 12 as part of meeting Climate Leader Community requirement #5, members reported at their April 20 meeting.

The policy is a staff-prepared draft; committee members discussed the May 12 presentation as the next formal step and said they will ask the Selectboard to consider approval at a future meeting. The transcript records no vote or formal adoption by the committee at the April 20 meeting.

Committee liaison Ed Davis and member Kendra Bowker were present for the discussion; the committee characterized the item as a presentation and a request to the Selectboard rather than a locally adopted ordinance or regulation. No implementation date or enforcement provisions were listed in the April 20 discussion.

The committee’s next steps are procedural: the draft will be shown to the Selectboard and town departments on May 12, and the Selectboard must decide whether to approve or request revisions. The April 20 meeting did not record a Selectboard response or a subsequent vote.
