A few attendees discussed concerns if a moratorium is considered and put in place. One individual expressed the importance of having an item by item action plan in place with goals met in a timely manner if a new mineral extraction operation moratorium will be imposed.
Councilman Clayton Haskell stated that if moratorium is enacted, that it should be a town wide moratorium. It was the Council’s consensus to agree with Councilman Haskell.
The new mineral extraction operation moratorium will be put to a vote at the next council meeting (or when the legal direction and paperwork from the town attorney is obtained.)
The second item on the agenda included representatives of the Cumberland County Regional Communications Center who provided information on budget expectations and contract renewals.
