Building Commissioner Mike Brogan — Uncompensated Planning Role
Brogan approved 2-0 (Pratt abstaining) to take an unpaid ~3 hr/week planning role, streamlining development permitting and helping attract businesses to vacant downtown storefronts; board debated long-term precedent if Brogan leaves.
💰 Unpaid position; board noted a future dedicated Town Planner could cost a six-figure salary
Why this matters: Shapes development and permitting oversight affecting property values and business growth
