Town of Mansfield

CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Meeting of 18 17 October 2007

Conference B, Beck Building

 

 

Members present: Peter Drzewiecki, Quentin Kessel, Scott Lehmann, John Silander, Frank Trainor.  Members absent: Robert Dahn, Rachel Rosen, Sherry Roy (alt).  Others present: Margaret Kessel

 

 

1. The meeting was called to order by  Chair Quentin Kessel at 7:35p. 

 

2. The minutes of the 19 September 07 meeting were approved as written.

 

3. Second Alternate.  The Commission now has one Alternate member, but it is authorized to have two.  Kessel mentioned a potential candidate; he will ask Dahn if he knows any one else who might be interested.   

 

4. Bylaws update.  The Commission’s bylaws, as set forth on pp.153-6 of the Town’s Administrative Procedures, should be updated to reflect the addition of two Alternate Members and to authorize the Chair to appoint one or both as voting members when regular members are absent.  Kessel will draft language to this effect for approval by the Commission and the Town.

 

5. Recognition of charter members.  Several of those who attended the very first Conservation Commission (19 September 1963) are still alive, and there was general agreement that it would be appropriate to recognize them.  Kessel will approach Jennifer Kaufman about getting the Town to do so.

 

6. Adjourned at 8:33p.
