This item was heard at the September 8, 2014 quarterly public hearing. <br />Presenter: Perdita Holts, Special Projects Coordinator <br />Perdita Holtz reviewed abstract <br />Craig Benedict: What I put on the Board here is what we presently have. We usually give the Planning Board a <br />briefing on what is coming up at the public hearings, this is kind of informal.

With that comes the obligation to try to get our thoughts organized. I think the <br />main thing is the joint meetings were a problem just because of the quorum and I think you could move that so they <br />are not joint meetings. However, I think you can, somewhere between require and strongly urge, have the Planning <br />Board members attend. I think it is really important, since we are giving recommendations, to have as many people <br />as we can present to hear what is going on because there is such a difference between reading something and <br />hearing someone present it. There is talk in the meeting about holding the Planning Board either before or after. I <br />M <br />
