Selectmen discuss temporary amendment to Quarry Preservation Ordinance while Parks Ordinance is drafted

Town of Vinalhaven Board of Selectmen · July 28, 2026

Summary

The Parks Commission has been unable to meet; the Board discussed adding temporary coverage to the Quarry Preservation Ordinance for parks properties and directed the Town Manager to propose Special Town Meeting dates and circulate draft amendments.

Board members discussed whether to amend the Quarry Preservation Ordinance temporarily to cover properties until a full Parks Ordinance can be drafted by the Parks Commission. The minutes state the Parks Commission has been unable to schedule a meeting and the Board discussed a stopgap amendment to ensure coverage.

Town Manager Marjorie Stratton will work with the Town Clerk to suggest possible dates for a Special Town Meeting and will send proposed amendments to the Board for review before the next meeting. The minutes do not record formal action to adopt amendments at this meeting; they record only the Board's discussion and an instruction to staff to prepare draft language and meeting dates.
