The Board of Selectmen will meet on Monday, January 10 in Town Building.

After receiving public comment, Selectmen will learn more about the 2011 Wayland Reads program from Library Director Ann Knight and others.  The Board will interview and consider for appointment citizens interested in serving as a member of town boards and committees.  Doug Goddard is seeking appointment to the Public Safety Building Advisory Committee.  The three-member temporary panel has been created to review and advise proposed changes to the facility to secure building systems and repair the basement.

Next, Selectmen will review other potential articles proposed for consideration for insertion in the Warrant, including compensation for the elected Town Clerk, sale of parcels of land, and establishing a consent calendar.  At 8:00 p.m., the Board will hold the petitioner's workshop – an opportunity for citizens contemplating submission of an article to become familiar with the process that culminates with town meeting.

After considering the consent calendar and reviewing correspondence, the Board will hear the weekly report of the Town Administrator featuring a preview of agenda topics for the next several meetings, an update on the transfer station pilot program sharing facilities with Sudbury, and a discussion on the venues can expenses for town meeting.  The agenda concludes with Selectmen's reports and concerns and a discussion of yet another Open Meeting Law complaint filed by George Harris.

The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room.  A reminder that the next meeting of the Board of Selectmen will be held on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, a day later than is custom as the town pauses to reflect on the words and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 17, 2011.
