Commissioner abstains from subdivision and equipment discussions tied to family proposal; colleagues ask for storage specs
Summary
Commissioner Peter Mellen abstained from input on the Leigh Bosse subdivision review and on a steel-fabrication Bible Hill rack proposal written by Rick Mellen; colleagues pressed for storage quantities and suggested oak timbers to keep ductile iron pipe off the ground.
At the Dec. 23 meeting of the Town of Hillsborough Water & Sewer Commission, Commissioner Peter Mellen abstained from providing input on two agenda items: the Leigh Bosse subdivision application review and a steel-fabrication proposal for an additional Bible Hill rack authored by Rick Mellen.
Minutes state Mellen abstained from input on the subdivision review and "explained his plan for his client." The commission signed the subdivision review form for return to the Planning Board with minimal comments. On the Bible Hill rack proposal, Commissioners Dave Lewis and Dana Clow asked about the quantities of pipe that would need storage; Commissioner Lewis said using oak timbers (dunnage) would be sufficient to raise the pipe off the ground and protect it.
The minutes record the abstentions and discussion but do not indicate any formal vote on the Bible Hill rack proposal or whether a procurement decision or contract award was finalized at the meeting.
