(This space is reserved for topics that the Chairman did not reasonably anticipate would be <br /> discussed). <br /> Mr. Weeden wanted to speak about why he voted no on the 6:15 hearing. He said we're here to represent the <br /> Town. One of the reasons he voted no was that it is at our discretion, we shouldn't let the engineers or <br /> applicants control the Commission. Moving forward we should work on our communication as a Commissic <br /> so that we're all on the same page and don't look dysfunctional. I don't want to see tension or animosity in <br /> play when we make these decisions. We need to make the best decisions for the Town. One of the other <br /> reasons I felt compelled to vote no was because of the attitude and tension I felt. I'm all about feelings and if <br /> people rub you the wrong way, I'm not going to be scrutinized for the decision I make. I have no problem <br /> answering to my constituents if they ask me to. I feel like that was out of line, it's at the Commission's <br /> discretion to speak on how they voted, I don't think it's appropriate to put them on the spot. <br /> Mr. Smith said we are a Conservation Commission, not a Feelings Commission. Democracy can sometimes I <br /> messy and discussions should be made in public. Motions can be made by any Commissioner and voted on b; <br /> any other Commissioner. <br /> Mr. Weeden said he feels like he's being cut off and if we're going to talk about respect, then I think we <br /> should talk about it. You got personal by saying you weren't present for a vote, I'm not sure what that had to <br /> do with tonight. If we're going to talk about personal stuff then we can talk about emotions and being <br /> personal. For you to disregard the concerns, I feel is unbecoming, and it's not appropriate to dismiss the <br /> concerns of any Commissioner. The point was we shouldn't get direction from engineers and consultants, it <br /> should come from the Commission. That's all I was saying. <br /> Mr. Smith said if there are any Conservation concerns in all of that, he's happy to discuss. <br /> ADJOURNMENT: <br /> Mr. Weeden motioned to adjourn. <br /> Mr. Sweet seconded the motion. <br /> Vote: 6-0-0 <br /> Roll Call Vote: <br /> Mr. Sweet; yes <br /> Mr. Dalton; yes <br /> Mr. O'Neill; yes <br /> Mr. Weeden; yes <br /> Ms. Zollo; yes <br /> Mr. Smith; yes <br /> In favor, 6; Opposed, 0; Abstentions, 0 <br /> Meeting adjourned at 7:44pm. <br /> Respe t ul submitted, <br /> Katr�in in/ <br /> �Bv rd,S cretary <br />
