Live reporting: Council meeting closing


K. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
6 more weeks of work, 
water trough coming back to center island
lots of things remain to do

water ban still underway
use has dropped with ban and diligence has been good

comment on ambulance response to nursing homes
one facility has obtained a private ambulance for non-emergency responses
would alleviate the demand from our resources


L. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
charter review discussion scheduled for next meeting

M. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Pellegri - deputy treasurer collector decision questioned
are not the appointing authority but questions on what role they should have

2 - recent raises by the School Dept
school folks getting 2, 2.5 and 3, but the municipal folks are not getting that
would love to get the contracts re-opened but not sure if that can be done

Padula - 
parking meter issue, hopeful that the signs are not burdensome
if the meters are unpleasing, to be replaced by ugly signs??

Mercer
thanks for getting the chief on the ambulance alternatives

Vallee
caskets mistakenly delivered downtown

Jones
disappointed in outside hires when inside folks are available
congratulations to the Police officers for their promotions and for their good work

Dellorco
it's a bad hire and that is one of the reasons why I want the charter change

Pfeffer
the School Committee makes the contract decision, it is totally theirs
the Town Administrator has hiring responbsilities
the Council should be part of the process but not directly involved

Kelly
expressed concerns to the School Committee about the choice they made
all employees work hard, we are proud of what you do
the decision to alter what was done is their issue


N. EXECUTIVE SESSION
none

O. ADJOURN
motion to adjourn, accepted
