Summary

The planning board approved minutes as amended by unanimous consent, discussed adjusted meeting dates for September and November because of elections, and agreed to circulate a revised schedule and coordinate with the select board and town manager on potential attendance conflicts.

The board reviewed and approved draft minutes (one-page-at-a-time) after noting a formatting/link issue in the agenda PDF and a purposeful insertion by staff that tested members' attention. Ray moved to accept the minutes "as amended," another member seconded, and the board approved the minutes unanimously with Deb absent.

Members discussed schedule adjustments for September and November due to Tuesday elections and agreed to move meetings to the 2nd and 4th weeks for that period. Chair Rob Phillips said the goal is to circulate an updated schedule to members and to coordinate with the select board and town manager on potential conflicts ahead of fall workload and special permits.
