At its February session the Town of Northborough Conservation Commission took routine administrative votes and continued one public hearing while recording a consensus to allow a volunteer cleanup at 432 Whitney Street.

The most consequential formal votes were the continuation of the public hearing for 3711 Reservoir Street to the March meeting and approval of payment for two registrations to the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissioners (MAC) conference.

Votes and outcomes

- Motion to accept the January meeting minutes: approved (commission roll call recorded; two members abstained because they were absent from the January meeting).

- Motion to continue the public hearing for 3711 Reservoir Street to the March meeting: approved by roll call (continuance requested by the proponent to revise drainage and erosion controls).

- Motion to approve payment of $300 for registration for two commission members to attend the MAC conference: approved by roll call.

- Motion to adjourn: approved by roll call; meeting ended early.

Staff and commissioners recorded no formal roll‑call vote for the volunteer cleanup at 432 Whitney Street; commission members stated consensus support for cleanup but explicitly separated cleanup approval from any future decision on trails or trail infrastructure. The commission asked staff to forward its message to the trails committee and requested the trails committee mark a field layout for any proposed trail in spring before the commission would consider trail approval.
