Joint boards appoint associate planning board member after multiple interviews
Summary
After a joint session interviewing multiple candidates for a planning-board associate seat, the boards voted to appoint a candidate. Members praised the field of applicants and noted the role is a learning-focused, three-year commitment.
The select board and planning board held a joint session to interview candidates for an associate planning-board seat and then held a vote on an appointment.
Several candidates described their qualifications: Geisha Bueno (speaker 16) said she is a general contractor and wants to learn planning rules; Gavin Fisk (speaker 21) described municipal experience and volunteer coaching; Bradley Parenteau (speaker 21 at a later turn) and others also explained their interest and availability. Board members limited initial questions to one each to manage time and asked about conflicts of interest, local project familiarity, and readiness for the three-year commitment.
Following discussion, motions were made for multiple candidates and the board conducted a roll-call vote. The motion to appoint the selected candidate passed and the board thanked all applicants and noted other opportunities on advisory boards and committees.
