Wind Turbine Document Concealment - Health- Selectman Doug Jones

Wind Turbine Options Analysis Process - 13 months 2012 to 2013

Falmouth Board of Selectmen Falmouth, Massachusetts

The purpose of these meetings was to engage in an open, transparent and collaborative exploration of the range of options for the long-term future of the Town of Falmouth’s two wind turbines, Wind 1 and Wind 2.

The costs to taxpayers was $140,000.00, for an assessment; designing and convening the process; preparing for, traveling to, facilitating and documenting 24 meetings (including all expenses); and writing and revising a final report, over the course of 13 months!

Why did the town lack transparency and why does the town continue to leave out the 110 decibel noise warning letter? Again most recently left out of the October 15, 2018 Weston & Sampson report to Select Board. Safety & health ignored again at a new cost of $14,000.00!

Town of Falmouth Liaison was : Doug Jones, Falmouth Board of Selectmen.

Question: If Selectman Jones was the liaison to the open and transparent WTOP meetings did the Town Attorney and/or any other appointed officials keep the warning emails and letter from Selectman Jones?

Surely in the course of due diligence safety and health are always number one.

Meetings (24) Facilitated by Stacie Nicole Smith, Consensus Building Institute (CBI).

# Note --Nicole Smith the Senior Mediator at CBI who ran the Falmouth WTOP, Wind Turbine Option Analysis Process when asked about August 3, 2010, Vestas 110 decibel chest pounding noise warning said in an email responded after the meetings she had never been shown the letter !!!!!

CBI convened a balanced group of participants to represent five core interests, which were identified during an extensive assessment process.

Health, safety, and well-being of impacted neighbors;
Property rights and economic impacts on property owners;

The Town of Falmouth failed to disclose the 110-decibel noise warning letter and emails received prior to construction of the wind turbines.

Letter remains hidden from public 2018
