Conservation agent to step down; commission says TJ will take over pending contract
Summary
The Conservation Commission announced that its conservation agent, Kevin, will step down and that TJ has agreed to assume the role pending a contract. Commissioners thanked the outgoing agent, who said family and evening-availability constraints led to his decision but that he will assist with daytime tasks during the transition.
The chair announced at the meeting that "Kevin will be stepping down as conservation agent because of his wonderful, beautiful, growing family and business," and said TJ has agreed to take over pending a contract.
A member who addressed the commission said they were "looking forward to working with the commission," noting prior conversations with Chris Yaworth and describing the incoming person as familiar with public meetings and filings. The speaker said the incoming agent's skills complement the conservation expertise of the outgoing agent and that they expect continuity between conservation and planning and zoning work.
Commissioners formally thanked the outgoing agent for his service. One member said, "Thank you, Kevin, for all the hard work you did." In response, the outgoing agent said stepping back was a matter of capacity tied to family and evening-meeting obligations: "I just needed to be realistic about my capacity." He added he would continue to be available for daytime tasks, help with sidewalks or violations, and assist with trail clearing as needed.
No vote or formal appointment was recorded in the discussion; members said the transition is subject to completing a contract with the incoming agent. The commission did not set a firm date for the handoff during the recorded discussion.
