Residents urge formal emergency-preparedness committee; reuse shed organizers propose furniture acceptance
Summary
During public comment, Beth Marr asked the board to formally establish an emergency preparedness committee; Judy Brown reported success with a community reuse shed and requested a new location to accept furniture donations, citing potential help from North Country Ministry and grants.
During the public comment period, Beth Marr of North River asked the board why emergency preparedness had not been established as an official committee and urged the board to consider formalizing it. "I wonder why we haven't formally established the emergency preparedness as an official committee of the town," Marr said.
Judy Brown, who said she oversees the town reuse shed, described strong community use of the program and requested space to accept furniture donations that the current shed cannot accommodate. Brown suggested moving the shed to a spot near the transfer station and said North Country Ministry might assist; she also mentioned pursuing grants to support the change. Both requests were acknowledged by the chair, who said items could be placed on the next meeting's agenda.
