CONWAY — In a continuation of a discussion about appointing alternate members at its May 12 meeting, the Conway Planning Board last Thursday added another alternate to the board, but not without a bit of more controversy.
Selectmen’s representative Steve Porter had nominated Steve Hartmann at the previous meeting but board member Mark Hounsell said he had an issue with nominating someone who was not present, leading Porter to withdraw his motion.
