Selectmen appoint two to Conservation Commission after social-media concern
Summary
The Board appointed Scott Estey and Bill Bilodeau to the Conservation Commission through March 2029 after the chair requested additional members to ensure quorum; a social-media post by Estey about personnel matters was raised and subsequently removed, which the Board said had been addressed.
Conservation Commission Chair Kathleen Babin-Johnson asked the Board to appoint two members to expand the commission from five toward the allowable seven members to ensure quorums and broaden perspectives. Candidates Scott Estey and Bill Bilodeau each gave brief introductions describing relevant experience in environmental documentation and town boards.
Board member Laura Malloy raised concerns about a social media post by Scott Estey regarding town personnel; Estey said he corrected inaccuracies and removed the post. The Board concluded the matter had been addressed and emphasized the need for factual, responsible public communication by board members. MOTION: "Z. Pike moved to appoint Scott Estey and Bill Bilodeau to the Conservation Commission, terms to expire March 2029." The motion carried unanimously.
