During the discussion, board members shared the following concerns: • Where would the funding come from? • Is an Appearance Commission necessary based on the roles our planning board and historic board already have in place? • Who would be enforcing the rules associated with an Appearance commission? Mrs. Ansell explained that fundraising may not be an option and believes it must be contributions. Both boards concluded that a new committee was not necessary.
