A3. Board and Committee Appointments
Appoint Kathy Schreiber to the Conservation Commission. The discussion continued
T. Fay made a motion to appoint Kathy Schreiber to the Conservation Commission. The discussion continued. M. Antes said that these decisions are not made cavalierly, but with much anguish. D. Levine said it comes down between K. Schreiber, T. Davidson, and S. Greenbaum. He said he's done a lot of research on his own including watching hours of Conservation Commission meetings on WayCAM. L. Anderson said that she also feels that S. Greenbaum, T. Davidson, and K. Schreiber are those she is considering. She mentioned that three years ago, the BoS chose to appoint T. Davidson because of his Army Corps of Engineering experience. C. Karlson cited an example of a previous appointee who was not experienced with Conservation regulations thriving on the Conservation Commission. She stated that F. Krasin might be too closely affiliated with some of the recreation projects. She said she would be happy with any of the remaining three candidates. C. Karlson noted that there was a motion on the table without a second. D. Levine seconded the motion that the Board of Selectmen appoint Kathy Schreiber to the Conservation Commission. In discussion, D. Levine noted several things that stand out for K. Schreiber: her work with other conservation commissions and understanding of best practices, her sense for the bigger picture, her understanding of construction projects and ability to read renderings, and her public housing experience.
