Commission pushes sustainability inventory, discusses protecting stone walls and cemetery documentation
Summary
Members advanced work on a sustainability report for CLG points, planning to document assets (Nathan Lester House, sawmill, schoolhouse, stone walls and cemeteries) and suggested drafting an ordinance to protect local stone walls.
Chair (S1) said the commission needs to complete a sustainability inventory to maximize Certified Local Government (CLG) points, listing municipal assets such as the Nathan Lester House, sawmill, schoolhouse and stone walls. "I think we really have to push that," S1 said, arguing landscapes should be preserved alongside buildings.
Members discussed documenting cemeteries and historic records to claim additional CLG points. S2 suggested including stone walls and outreach activities within the inventory. S1 proposed drafting an ordinance to protect local stone walls and volunteered to compile the materials for the sustainability submission, with other members available to help research inventories and outreach achievements.
The commission agreed to coordinate volunteers and compile documentation to submit to the sustainability committee and pursue maximum CLG points for preservation work.
