Selectmen begin process to form Parks & Recreation Commission, ask for volunteers

The Board of Selectmen agreed to begin recruiting volunteers to form a Parks and Recreation Commission and reviewed elements of a restructuring framework that Mary Ewell drafted to guide the effort. The board discussed what to include in the framework and how to proceed with volunteer recruitment.

Fran Shippee said she will call True North to arrange lead and asbestos testing at the parks and recreation building and asked that Steve Tarbox perform a structural assessment. The board did not set firm recruitment deadlines in the excerpt; members said they will seek volunteers and bring a more complete framework to a future meeting.
