Board sets public-comment limits and declines immediate legal counsel for next meeting
Summary
For the next meeting addressing a permit and potential contentious testimony, the board agreed not to require legal counsel onsite but to keep counsel on standby; it also agreed short time limits for public comments (two minutes per speaker, total 15–30 minutes for the item).
The board discussed logistics for the next meeting, including whether to invite legal counsel and whether to request a state trooper's presence. S1 asked whether Jim Carroll should attend; S4 said it was a bad idea to bring counsel unless needed. Members agreed to keep counsel on standby rather than require attendance and to set short time limits for public comments on the item: two minutes per speaker and 15–30 minutes total for the agenda item.
S1 also said the board will provide the permit that Mr. Hair received and indicated that several outside parties (state police and others) might attend; the board agreed to be firm about time and to avoid a multi-hour meeting.
