Selectboard appoints three members to Building Use Workgroup, clarifies charter language
Summary
The Selectboard appointed Fred Strasser, Jess Guerrero, and Lyle Brooks to the Building Use Workgroup and approved a change to the BUW charter clarifying the group may present multiple options rather than a single recommendation, leaving final decisions to town residents.
The Selectboard confirmed prior appointees to the Building Use Workgroup and voted to add Fred Strasser and Jess Guerrero; a subsequent motion to appoint Lyle Brooks also passed. The board discussed proposed language in the BUW charter and Chair Mike DeSocio moved to tweak item 5 to recognize that the workgroup may produce more than one option for managing the School Building and Town Office Building and that neither the BUW nor the Selectboard would be asked to endorse a single recommendation.
DeSocio framed the charter change as a procedural clarification to preserve resident decision-making: the change "recognizes that the BUW may not come up a single recommendation of how to proceed with the management and use of the School Building and the Town Office Building." The appointees will join existing members Mary Hickey, Stan Noga and Andrea Seaton; the board did not take further action on implementation details at this meeting.
