Appointments
Appointments to the Board of Health (BOH) and Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) were made. Phillip Brunelli had recently resigned from the Board of Health to take a spot on the ZBA. Fulfilling the open BOH spot required a joint session of the Council and BOH to appoint Ciera Maffei. She will fill the role until the next election (Nov 2019). Philip was successfully appointed to the ZBA and Christopher Stickney was appointed to an associate position.

Charter School Update
Risk Assessment
The Town administration has had an open action item for several years to perform a financial risk assessment. This was accomplished this summer and the summary document was presented and review at the meeting.
This was good to see performed. It had been required in the annual audit reports. The actions required to complete the assessment are relatively minor in nature and currently scheduled for completion by the end of March 2019. A copy of the risk assessment report is linked to below
Executive Session
The Town Council entered into executive session to discuss and come to an agreement on the contract for the new Town Administrator, Jamie Hellen. They were to return to open session and either vote (assuming they reached an agreement) or return and then close the meeting (if they hadn't)/
After approx 45 minutes they did return to open session and vote to agree on the contract which they signed and then Jamie signed.
new TA Jamie Hellen waits for Councilor Earls to be the last to sign the contract before signing it himself |
