Select Board approves town‑forest timber harvest and appoints new chair and commissioners
Summary
The board authorized an intent-to-cut in the town forest and unanimously approved appointments including Karl Behr as Select Board chair, Andrew Moore as trustee, and Grant Prillaman as sewer commissioner.
The Tamworth Select Board on April 14 approved a recommendation from the Conservation Commission to proceed with a timber harvest on Map 414 Lot 43 and hired a logger to carry out the work.
Select Board member Richard Doucette said the Conservation Commission recommended contracting Bill Birrubbo to perform the harvest; Emery Roberts moved to authorize an intent to cut and to hire Birrubbo based on Tim Nolin’s recommendation. The motion passed by roll call and was unanimous.
In other new business, the board reorganized liaisons and approved three appointments. Roberts will serve as the cemetery liaison. The board approved motions to appoint Karl Behr as Select Board chair for a one‑year term, Andrew Moore as a Trustee of the Trust Fund for one year, and Grant Prillaman as Sewer Commissioner for a three‑year term. All appointments were approved by roll call vote.
The board did not specify operational details of the harvest in the minutes; conservation oversight and adherence to state intent‑to‑cut filing requirements were noted in the signature file portion of the meeting.
