Belgrade board appoints short‑term rental committee members, agrees to standardize appointment policy
Summary
The select board appointed two members to a short‑term rental ad‑hoc committee, accepted a planning‑board resignation, and directed staff to draft a consistent committee‑appointment policy (alternates first, two‑week posting).
The Belgrade Select Board on Feb. 3 appointed members to a short‑term rental ad‑hoc committee, accepted a planning‑board resignation and instructed staff to draft a uniform committee‑appointment policy.
Frank Cresa and Max Stoko were nominated and approved for the short‑term rental ad‑hoc committee. Cresa described his experience as a licensed real‑estate broker and long‑term investor and said he hopes to help craft balanced guidance to protect the town’s character while allowing responsible rentals.
The board read and accepted a resignation letter from Peter Sergeant from the planning board effective Jan. 22, 2026, and voted to send a certificate of appreciation. Members discussed formalizing the appointment process across all committees—giving alternates the first opportunity to fill vacancies, posting openings for at least two weeks, accepting applications, and having committee chairs recommend finalists to the select board for final appointment.
Carol and another member volunteered to draft a committee‑appointment policy for board review; staff will circulate a proposed text and ask for comments from the select board and budget committee within a 10‑day window.
