P&Z Elects Fogliano As Chairman

BY ANDREW GOROSKO

Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) members have elected Daniel Fogliano as

chairman of the panel, which regulates local development.

P&Z members unanimously elected Mr Fogliano to a one-year term as chairman at

a December 3 meeting. He has served as vice chairman for the past year and

joined the P&Z in the fall of 1996.

Mr Fogliano, a Republican, replaces Stephen Koch as the chairman.

Due to a heavy business schedule, Mr Koch opted not to seek reelection to the

chairmanship, instead nominating Mr Fogliano for the post.

In the voting, P&Z members elected Mr Koch to a one-year term as vice

chairman. Mr Fogliano nominated Mr Koch for that position.

Mr Koch, A Republican, became P&Z chairman in April 1997 after then-chairman

John DeFilippe resigned from the commission.

In other action, P&Z members elected Heidi Winslow, a Democrat, to another

one-year term as commission secretary. Ms Winslow, the senior P&Z member, has

served as secretary for many years.

There was no competition for any of the three commission posts.

In other business, P&Z members named Sue Lorusso to serve as the commission's

administrative clerk for the coming year. Ms Lorusso replaced Janet Burns who

left town employment last June for a post with a private firm.

The P&Z formulates and interprets the town's plan of development. It creates

and implements regulations governing land use. The elective panel has five

regular members and three alternate members.
