As a way to share the newly expanded Blue Hill Select Board’s workload and to increase the Board’s depth of knowledge about the full range of matters for which the Board is responsible, the Select Board has identified primary areas of responsibility for each member.
While these assignments are by no means exclusive, the intent is that the primarily responsible Board member will be the most knowledgeable on a given subject and should generally be the first point of contact with comments or questions relating to that subject.
Here is the list of subject areas and the primarily responsible Select Board member(s) for each:
| Subject Area | Select Board Member(s) |
|---|---|
| Education | Sean Dooley |
| Facilities | Butler Smythe |
| Finance | Scott Miller |
| Land Use/Planning | Jim Dow Scott Miller |
| Marine Resources | Scott Miller |
| Personnel | Ellen Best |
| Public Safety | Butler Smythe |
| Roads | Butler Smythe |
| Septic/Wastewater Treatment | Sean Dooley |
| Solid Waste/Transfer Station | Ellen Best Jim Dow Scott Miller |
