SOUTHWICK – Because of confusion during the Select Board’s meeting Monday about how vacant seats are filled on the Planning Board, it will meet for a second time on Tuesday without enough members to conduct business.
“We’re not done with the process though, being this is not a joint meeting,” said Planning Board member Jessica Ann Thornton as she sat in front of the three members of Select Board to explain that according to state law both boards must approve appointing a member to a seat that has been vacated before its term expires.
Earlier this month Planning Board members Michael Doherty and David Sutton resigned at the same meeting effectively immediately.
