Barnes resigns as Conservation Commission chair ‘for personal reasons’

by | Aug 13, 2024 | Featured: News,

Jeff Barnes, the longtime chair of the Conservation Commission, recently submitted his resignation for “personal reasons,” he confirmed to the Independent.

“I’ve immensely enjoyed being part of the HCC team and I’m profoundly proud of the work we’ve done and of all the natural resources and wildlife we’ve protected in Hopkinton over the years,” Barnes shared.

Barnes, who did not appear at the in-person commission meeting on July 30, added via text message that he submitted his resignation “in the beginning of August” and that it would take effect “immediately.”

“The HCC’s commitment to the environment, professionalism, work ethic and friendship is inspirational to me,” added Barnes, “and our work and the relationships with the Hopkinton town professionals, volunteers, consultants and applicants will always have a happy place in my heart!”

Barnes said he especially wanted to thank Conservation Administrator Kim Ciaramicoli, her predecessor Don MacAdam, as well as Anna Rogers, the town’s environmental and inspectional services coordinator, for their dedication and friendship.

He noted that current vice chair Melissa Recos will take over as commission chair at the next meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 20.

    I lack sufficient superlatives.

    Jeff has been an incredible source of support and resources during my time on ConCom, and especially during my tenure as Chair of the Open Space Preservation Commission.

    Thank you Jeff, for your time, guidance, handholding and friendship.
