MAYOR

The mayor appointed Jean Stewart to the Planning Board to fill the vacancy and complete the term of Bill Holland.

The mayor reported that he had accepted the resignation of Melissa Vanelli.

The mayor advised the Board that he had allocated $150 of his contractual money to the BBCA for the Chamber of Commerce advertisement. This would add to the $250 previously given two months ago.
