Members say Select Board held off filling several zoning task‑force seats
Summary
Committee members said the Select Board elected to fill only two of several openings on the zoning task force because of the steep learning curve; a few seats remain held or inactive pending acclimation of the new appointees.
Committee members discussed how the Select Board handled recent zoning-related appointments and why some seats were held open. Members said the Select Board approved two candidates but declined to fill all available spots immediately, citing the steep learning curve for regulatory roles.
One committee member described the Select Board's approach: "they had so many open seats, they really felt that because of the steepness of the learning curve, they really didn't want to have that many openings," and said the board chose to add only two people now and hold the remaining seats. Members noted that regulatory boards such as the ZBA cannot accept certain part‑time candidates and that task force roles may be paused or designated inactive while the newly added people acclimate.
