PlanningBoard | 2016-10-10 | 4 | President Knox White asked how they decided what went in the plan and what did not. Staff Member Thomas said they combined the noise and health & safety elements.

He said SN2 is a project and should not be in the general plan. He said having something about maintaining and updating a functioning EOC would make sense. He said SN4 needs to be reworded to make items A & B fit nicely under it. He said airplanes do not typically have accidents, they crash, and that word should be replaced. He said SN5 and SN6 might be combined under one airplane related item. He said SN8 should have something prioritizing a lifeline bridge to the mainland.
