Selectmen’s Reports/Comment.
1. Action on Amendment to Board of Selectmen Agenda Protocol. Chairman Willauer reviewed a
proposed addition to the agenda protocols regarding public comment. Mr. Bennett moved to insert
the language. Mr. Chadwick seconded. So voted unanimously.
2. Formation of Bulk Fuel Committee. Chairman Willauer introduced the matter, sharing a
proposed mission statement for this proposed entity to formalize an ad hoc committee made up of
two Airport Commissioners, two Selectmen, and the Airport Manager (ex officio). He noted that
recommendations from the committee would be sought for the Selectmen’s March 21, 2007
meeting. Discussion followed on the proposed membership being the current ad hoc membership
versus an expanded membership to include a member of the Energy Study Committee. Barbara
Gookin of the Energy Study Committee advised that, although her committee may be present at
Bulk Fuel Committee meetings, it would not require that a voting member sit on that committee.
Mr. Bennett moved to create the Bulk Fuel Committee to include two Airport Commissioners, two
Selectmen, and the Airport Manager as well as one Energy Study Committee representative. Ms.
Stover seconded. Ms. Stover and Mr. Bennett voted in favor and Mr. Chadwick and Chairman
Willauer voted in opposition. Ms. Stover moved to create the committee as proposed (appointing
the current ad hoc membership). Mr. Chadwick seconded. So voted unanimously.
3. Review of Updated 2006-07 Board of Selectmen Goals. Chairman Willauer noted that copies of
the revised goals are available for review and briefly noted the new language added. Aaron
Marcavitch, speaking for the Historical Commission, spoke regarding his interest in a reference to
