Stoddard Cyanobacteria Committee chair says he will step down; replacement to be considered
Summary
Chair Rex Rodanos told the committee he cannot continue in the role because of scheduling conflicts and asked to relinquish the chair; members agreed to consider volunteers and formalize a plan at the next meeting.
Rex Rodanos, chair of the town of Stoddard’s Cyanobacteria Committee, told members at their March 13, 2025 meeting that he cannot continue serving as chair given his current schedule and asked to relinquish the position. The committee agreed to consider volunteers and develop a plan at the next meeting.
The committee approved its previous meeting minutes after Naomi Risch noted two spelling errors she will correct; Patrick Leonard moved to approve and Helen Tam‑Semmens seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Members confirmed the next meeting will be Tuesday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Stoddard Town Hall.
The announcement matters because committee leadership affects continuity of outreach and follow‑through on technical items—such as proposed septic‑inspection standards and runoff mitigation strategies—that members said will require coordination with the Planning Board and external partners. The committee did not take a formal vote on the chair position at this meeting and deferred selection to a future agenda.
