Conservation commission denies town permit to bait bears near residences
Summary
The commission denied a request to permit baiting bears on town property, saying the need for bear control was insufficient and the proposed site was too close to homes.
The Francestown Conservation Commission reviewed a request for a Permit to Bait Wildlife on town property (bear) and denied the request. The minutes record the commission’s rationale: the need to control bear was not great enough at this time and the proposed location was near residential areas.
The minutes capture the decision in one line of the record: "Therefore, the request was denied." No roll‑call vote or mover/second is recorded in the minutes; the entry reflects the commission’s decision as recorded.
