In your post you say: This Board was established as a result of a petition by concerned residents.

What are some of the situations/opportunities they are going to be addressing? What are the concerns? And why did the Selectmen feel more government was needed vs. a public forum with the M'boro Parks & Rec Dept.?

I understand that the Selectmen may have come to that decision via due process and the petition you mention, but just curious about the whys and wherefores...
