Sustainability Advisory Board Meeting
The board discussed their recommendations regarding strategic planning goals, focusing specifically on Objective 3.4 concerning resilience and sustainability priorities. The members debated the scope of this objective, suggesting it should broaden beyond the Resilience Action Plan to include the Energy Action Plan and other ongoing board work. There was consensus on continuing existing sustainability initiatives rather than starting new processes, and a desire for the board to provide clear direction to the town trustees on whether to proceed with the current work plan or develop a new list of priorities. The meeting also touched upon the challenge of limited funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the need for patience regarding the town's current operational capacity.
