Selectboard delays decision on St. George Community Co‑op water source
Summary
The Selectboard discussed a proposed public water source for the St. George Community Co‑op but took no action, agreeing instead to hire an independent geohydrologist and negotiate testing/access agreements with the Co‑op.
The Town of St. George Selectboard discussed a proposal from the St. George Community Co‑op to place a public water source on town land but did not reach a decision. Joel Colf, chair, summarized prior discussion and said the board would not move forward without independent technical review.
Town attorney Dave Rugh told the board he could not address specific legal communications without a formal engagement: "I couldn't discuss specific legal communications without a formal arrangement with the Town in place." The board agreed to retain an independent geohydrologist/engineer to assess feasibility and to negotiate temporary access and water‑testing arrangements with the Co‑op before taking action. Connie Kendall, chair of the Planning Commission, said she was concerned about impacts to the Town Center master plan and the precedent of private use of public property. Andrew Hoak of Dubois & King outlined the geological rationale for the chosen site; Nate Goldman (CDI) participated in technical discussion.
