Back to Board of Selectmen Meeting Minutes
October 30, 2009
Special Session 10:15 am
Ms. Burns, Mr. Rabuffo, Mr. Riley
Following a brief discussion with DPW Director Randy Sylvester and Roger Fernandes, Project Engineer, it was moved by John Riley, seconded by Bruce Rabuffo and voted unanimously to award a contract for procurement of a commercial scale for the transfer station, in the amount of $77,867 to Fair Banks Scales. The Board also voted to support a reserve fund transfer sufficient to purchase an extended 5-year warranty, and a remote reader for the scale. The estimate for this cost is approximately $25,455.
The Town Administrator’s FY ’10 Goals and Objectives were discussed. The Board is concerned that the goals may be too extensive to allow for successful completion in a single year.
Following discussion the Board voted to delete goals #14 and #15 from the document (attached) concerning the potential creation of a centralized vehicle maintenance department and a centralized building maintenance department. Both of these will be moved to the TA’s FY ’11 Goals and Objectives when that document is prepared. The motion to delete the two goals was made by John Riley, seconded by Bruce Rabuffo and voted unanimously.
The Board next discussed their policy on agenda preparation.
The policy deadline for submission of agenda items by “noon on Friday”, was changed to “5 p.m. on Wednesday”. The policy, as amended was adopted by unanimous vote on a motion by Bruce Rabuffo and a second by John Riley (copy attached to the minutes).
The Board next discussed the policy on Citizen Concern Processing and on a motion by Bruce Rabuffo and second by John Riley, the policy was unanimously adopted (copy attached to the minutes).
The Board directed that the policy be placed in electronic form for use by all departments. Laura Burns offered to complete the work needed to facilitate that effort.
Meeting adjourned.
Kevin Paicos, Town Administrator
