Selectboard asks committees for updated charges, clearer timelines on broadband, housing and planning work
Summary
The Selectboard reviewed committee reports and asked multiple committees to update charges, pursue training, report on remaining funds, and prioritize ordinance review, including shoreland zoning and harbor-master duties.
The Town of Chebeague Island Selectboard reviewed reports from multiple committees at its June 3 meeting and asked for clearer charges and timelines.
The board directed the Broadband Committee to update its charge to reflect oversight and operational responsibilities and to report back on remaining project funds and possible uses. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals was asked to pursue additional training, potentially with the Town Attorney, and to focus on roles and decision-making responsibilities. The Coastal Water Commission should continue waterfront and harbor-related planning and review ordinance language related to Harbor Master duties and possible fee or fine updates. The Facilities Committee was asked to revisit priorities to reflect administrative and public-safety facility needs. The Finance Committee should continue capital and debt planning, consider becoming a standing committee, and further develop a potential tax-relief or circuit-breaker style proposal. The Housing Committee was asked to provide an updated timeline and continue toward a roadmap for attainable year-round housing options. The Planning Board was asked to prioritize ordinance review, including shoreland zoning provisions to ensure state compliance.
The minutes reflect general board support for continued committee work while emphasizing clearer timelines and alignment with current town priorities; the minutes do not include detailed deliverables or deadlines for each committee.
