5. Planning Commission Comments
Jeff A. stated that he was surprised to not see more residents attending Planning and Zoning
meetings, which are open to the public. Given that many people like to write letters to the newspaper
complaining about different subjects, they don't seem to come to open meetings to express their
feelings and concerns, which are welcomed and appreciated by the Commission.
Jeff A. also explained he is part of Partners in Energy, which is a program between the Town and
Excel to create a long term plan for energy efficiency. It is a 2 year collaboration that involves 4
months of planning and 20 months of implementation.
