SOUTH PORTLAND — The South Portland City
Council made headway in filling vacant committee posts at its most recent
meeting, Jan. 7, appointing five residents to various openings.
Colchester Drive resident
Peter Stocks was named to fill out a term on the city’s economic development
committee until March 23. The seat was vacated by Angela Smith, who resigned in
December. However, it appears likely Stocks, president and general manager of
Trudy Point LLC – an aquaculture company founded in 2010 to harvest rope-grown
blue mussels off the Maine coast under the name Calendar Island Mussel Company
– can expect reappointment when the time comes.
“To put an upstarter,
small-business owner on this committee is very wise,” said Mayor Tom Blake of
the nomination, made by Councilor Linda Cohen. “It’s an excellent choice.”
Stocks, who has lived in
South Portland for six years, is a 1988 graduate of the Maine School of Law,
with a 1990 degree in comparative corporate law from the London School of
Economics.
E Street resident Mitchell
Sturgeon, formerly a paper industry chemical engineer and a wastewater
superintendent, was reappointed to the Conservation Commission to Nov. 20,
2015. Newly appointed to the commission, also through Nov. 20, 2015, was Monika
Youelles of Strout Street. An operations representative and marine agent at
Inchcape Shipping Services, Youelles has lived in South Portland for 10 years.
Julie Kingsley and Lynne
Joys were reappointed to the library advisory board. Kingsley, of Preble
Street, a teacher at Southern Maine Community College, and Joys, a 43-year
resident of Kenneth Road, will each serve to Nov. 20, 2015.
South Portland has two
openings on the conservation commission, one to Nov. 20, 2013 and the other to
Nov. 20, 2014, as well as two seats on the energy and recycling committee, both
terms to May 5, 2015.
City councilors also are
seeking someone to serve on the board of appeals through July 23, 2015.
