Boscawen Planning Board to review ex‑officio rule and consider work session on impact fees

Kellee Jo Easler, Planning & Community Development Director, told the Board she recommends removing Article 3, #3 from the Rules of Procedure because the Planning Board cannot have two Select Board members serving as voting ex‑officio members. She asked members to review the current Rules of Procedure and bring suggested edits to the August meeting for a vote.

Ex‑Officio Josh Crawford suggested scheduling a work session focused on impact fees. Select Board member Lorrie Carey said the town could consider System Development Charges instead of impact fees, noting they are collected in the same way and are used by other municipalities; Carey offered to provide information to the PCD office for distribution.

The Board did not take further action at the July meeting but asked staff and members to prepare information for future consideration.
