Summary

A public commenter asked whether a supervisor should have recused from a vote on a prior appointment; the supervisor responded and the commenter withdrew the point. Another resident urged the board to consider B-1 zoning changes and give business uses more flexibility.

During the public-comment period, a resident raised a procedural question about a prior vote on resolution 2620, asking whether Supervisor Wilson should have recused from the vote because the measure affected the supervisor’s own appointment.

The resident (David Juntan) said he believed the supervisor might have been ineligible to vote and asked whether she should have excused herself. Supervisor Amber Brock Williams responded and the commenter said, "Oh, I'm sorry. My apologies," and withdrew the point. Another resident, Bert Waif, congratulated the newly formed board and urged the town to consider B-1 zoning changes to allow different business uses in the town center.
