The Board voted 2-0 to appoint Scott Tierney as the town’s new Shellfish Warden.
Freethey stated he had been scheduled to attend an MMA workshop on grant applications in Augusta on the 8th. He had tried to cancel after his resignation but found it was too late for cancellation. The options were to attend, find a substitute, or pay the registration fee and send no one. Rather than having the town lose the money, he agreed to attend the workshop and bring any material back to the town office.
On April 29th at 6:30 in the Keeper’s Room in the town office, the monthly meeting of the Brooklin Keeping Society will be held. The program will be an open house to show the citizens the vault, and to present the Boston Post Cane to Brooklin’s oldest citizen (Mary Ford Webber).
