Danvers dissolves Rail Trail Advisory Committee; Friends group to continue stewardship
Summary
The Town Manager reported the decision to dissolve the Rail Trail Advisory Committee, saying its mission has been fulfilled; Friends of Danvers Rail Trail will coordinate ongoing fundraising and volunteer activities with the Recreation Department.
The Select Board meeting on Jan. 20 included a report that the Rail Trail Advisory Committee will be dissolved because, according to the Town Manager, its mission has been fulfilled.
The Town Manager said the decision followed several meetings with Aaron Henry and Paul McNulty and that Friends of Danvers Rail Trail will keep the Recreation Department apprised of fundraising and volunteer efforts to maintain the trail. The manager thanked past and present committee members for their advocacy of what she called a "remarkable community asset." The minutes do not record a separate vote on the dissolution.
Next steps: Friends of Danvers Rail Trail will update the Recreation Department on ongoing activities; the Town Manager and town staff will handle any administrative transition steps.
