Select Board appoints new finance‑committee member, names local rep for energy siting; approves summer event permits
Summary
The board appointed Mark Angelini to the finance committee and approved Sam Jocelyn as the town’s local government representative for large energy facility siting under state rules; it also approved special event permits for a riding/driving series and a 5K run with routine conditions.
The Select Board appointed two residents to local roles and approved several seasonal event permits.
Appointment: The board appointed Mark Angelini to the finance committee after he introduced himself as a West Newbury resident with accounting and finance experience. Angelini said he moved to West Newbury in 2021 and offered his background as a rationale for serving on the committee; the board approved the appointment by voice vote.
Energy‑siting representative: The board also appointed Sam Jocelyn as the town’s Local Government Representative for permitting of large clean energy facilities pursuant to 225 CMR; members described the role as the town’s designated point of contact and oversight shepherd for projects that would later require planning‑board review or special permits. The motion to appoint Jocelyn was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Event permits: The board approved three special permits for a riding and driving series (dates in July and August) and a permit for the 12th annual Riverside 5K, confirming police and fire sign‑offs and requesting advance direct mail notification to neighbors and use of signs rather than spray‑painting to mark a race course.
No compensatory actions or conditions beyond normal permit requirements were attached to the approvals.
