Select Board approves letters to Marshfield and timber-frame group about pavilion status
Summary
Board approved sending reworded letters to Marshfield and the timber-frame group explaining the pavilion petition, clarifying language to avoid implying the project is already a done deal, and committing to notify recipients of the Jan. 28 vote and any outcomes.
A board member who drafted correspondence reported she had written letters to Marshfield and the timber-frame group to inform them of the pavilion petition and the scheduled vote. The board discussed phrasing and agreed to tone down any language that might give the impression the select board had already decided to proceed with the project.
The drafter explained she had included the scheduled Jan. 28 vote and that Marshall suggested noting that the final outcome will depend on the vote results. After edits to remove statements implying active board commitment, the Chair moved to submit the revised letters to Marshfield and the timber-frame group; the motion was seconded and carried. The board agreed all select board members should sign outgoing correspondence so it represents the body rather than a single member.
Action provenance: topic introduced SEG 236, motion and approval SEG 710-714.
