Friends of the Mad River brief Fayston Selectboard on culvert and watershed priorities
Summary
Friends of the Mad River outlined watershed projects and asked how the group can better coordinate with Fayston; the Fayston Conservation Commission offered to serve as liaison and identified culvert work (Aquatic Organism Passage) and Murphy Road as near-term priorities.
Select Board member Chuck Martel opened a presentation from Friends of the Mad River on the organization's activities and priorities.
Ira Shadis, identified in the transcript as chair of Friends of the Mad River, introduced the presentation, which Julie Frost led. Frost described the group's work and asked how FMR could better communicate with Town officials as it identifies and executes projects. "We want to move forward to evaluate projects and priorities for the future. Murphy Road is on my list," Frost said.
Shadis and Frost identified the Aquatic Organism Passage project—work related to culvert replacement—as an item relevant to Fayston. When Selectboard members asked about local contacts, Brian Litmans offered the Fayston Conservation Commission as a liaison, saying the commission "would be happy to serve as liaison in these efforts." The board did not record a formal vote or direction in the transcript; the exchange ended with an offer to coordinate on project evaluation and priorities.
The presentation supplied the board with a point of contact for watershed projects and an initial list of potential local priorities (culvert replacement/Aquatic Organism Passage; Murphy Road). The board did not set deadlines or allocate funding during this meeting.
