PSC revises withholding-of-permits policy language; Select Board retains discretion on Major Gifts
Summary
The PSC reviewed revisions to the Withholding of Permits and Licenses Policy, agreed to tighten documentation language for denials and confirmed that calculation of relative value for Major Gifts remains at the Select Board's discretion.
The Policy Subcommittee reviewed revisions to its draft Withholding of Permits and Licenses Policy on June 4, focusing on denial procedures and public-hearing language.
Members agreed to modify wording requiring documentation of reasons for denying requests to make the process clearer and more consistent. The subcommittee also confirmed that any computation of relative value for "Major Gifts" is a matter for the Select Board to exercise discretion over rather than being prescribed by the subcommittee.
The PSC agreed the draft is ready to go forward for a first read by the Select Board.
