Project Review Motions Used to Circumvent GLA Board Meetings
Project Review applications are considered critical business that the GLA Board must tend to quickly. They must first be approved at a Project Review Committee meeting and then, if approved, go to the full board at a regular monthly meeting. Since January Project Review applications have been decided in secret by GLA Board email votes. Neighbors and other landowners have been denied the monthly Board meeting opportunity to learn about or comment on pending Project Review applications. Director Brockett opposed this process and refused to approve Project Review applications until landowners were involved.
On March 31, 2021 Project Review chairman Gerald Dubiel created a motion to approve a North Glastonbury landowner's Pole Barn and Garage. Director Mizzi immediately seconded the motion and voted yes. Director Brockett replied:
Brockett's comments may have hit a nerve. No further votes were cast and the motion failed.

We already have two motions on the floor. This would be a third.
Jerry has one active and John’s budget motion still has two outstanding votes.
I will be voting no on the Project Review motion. These must be presented at a open board meeting where neighbors and other landowners can have a chance to speak.
