Planning Board President Lee Tickell submitted his resignation last week. Tickell said that the resignation had nothing to do with any dissatisfaction on his part with the volunteer position he has held for a few years. He said it simply had to do with the fact that he no longer owns property in the valley, a requirement for members of the Planning Board. Tickell does not plan on leaving the valley, however, and will continue working for RC Watchdog, a non-profit on-line news organization that posts unedited videos of local government meetings on its internet site.
