The Select Board met November 20. Mr. Butch Malloy wanted to know when the Special Town Meeting would be held to vote on the proposed bylaw presented by Mr. Malloy and MinutemanWind at the Public Hearing on October 25. Mr. Bettis wanted the vote to be held in December. Mr. Bettis was informed the Planning Board had scheduled an informational meeting for December 13 to present the Planning Board proposed bylaw. Mr. Bettis stated this was the first he had heard of this informational meeting. He was opposed to the Planning Board presenting their proposed bylaw before Mr. Malloy’s proposal was voted on by the town. He asked if this informational meeting could be rescheduled. Sue McGrath told the Select Board this was not possible since the newspapers had been sent notification to be published. Mr. Betttis said Jamie Reinhardt, Planning Board Chairman, should have presented the Select Board with his proposal for an informational hearing before it was sent to the papers. Mr. Bettis said it has been three years, what’s another two weeks.
Mr. Bettis explained he was concerned the residents would be just as confused as they were at the Public Hearing about which bylaw was being discussed. Brenda Smith suggested to Mr. Bettis the residents would be prepared to make a correct decision for the Town if they were aware of the significant differences in the two bylaws. The presentation by Mr. Malloy and MinutemanWind compared only their proposal and the state requirements. Mr. Bettis asked if the Planning Board would use their presentation to show the differences between Mr. Malloy’s and the Planning Board’s proposed bylaw. Since the Planning Board does not have either the equipment or the money to make a similar presentation, this would not possible.
Mr. Malloy said the Planning Board has been stalling. He felt the Planning Board was now rushing their informational hearing since his proposed bylaw had been presented. Mr. Malloy said his lease runs out in January. He wanted his bylaw to be voted on before the lease expired. He further expressed his concern the project would not go forward if his proposed bylaw is voted down. Mr. Malloy, also, said referring to the Commercial Wind Energy Facilities Bylaw his bylaw was wrong.
The vote on the bylaw presented by Mr. Malloy and MinutemanWind will be held Thursday, January 3, 2008 at the Fire Department, 7 PM. If this proposed bylaw is approved, it will become the bylaw for Savoy.
