Commissioner Sarah Kerns raised concerns under the 48‑hour new‑business rule about a proposed emergency medical services (EMS) building, saying the project’s proximity to wetlands and financial implications warranted attention. The commission has not received a Notice of Intent for the project.

Commissioner Bill Llewelyn recommended the commission engage a wetlands specialist to conduct the necessary assessments and reporting if and when the project files proceed to the Conservation Commission.
