The Board of Selectmen will meet on Monday, February 27, 2012 in Town Building.
Selectmen will convene in the Large Hearing Room to conduct a special ceremony at which time four officers of the Fire Department will take an oath and assume new leadership roles. Vincent Smith will be sworn in as Fire Chief, David Houghton as Deputy Chief, Robery Dorey as Captain and Ken McGuire as Lieutenant. Later, Michael Boyes will be introduced as the newest member of the fire service, having started this month as the department's third paramedic.
After the ceremonies, the Board will receive public comment and then consider and approve the consent calendar and review correspondence.
Next, Selectmen will review the status of various articles submitted for inclusion in the 2012 Annual Town Meeting Warrant. It is customary that the text of some articles are modified to achieve stated goals and meet legal requirements during the vetting process that is ongoing through the printing of the Warrant in mid-March. Selectmen will review changes to articles submitted since the last meeting. The Board will also review logistical matters including the implementation of electronic voting and potential offering of audio/video capability for maps and photos that may be displayed during presentations of articles.
Later, the Board will consider documents submitted by Twenty Wayland, LLC necessary to affirm easements and lots established during the Master Special Permit process and receive an update on all aspects of the project.
Selectmen will then listen to the report of the Town Administrator and preview the schedule and agenda topics for the next several meetings. Selectmen will then offer their reports and concerns, including an update on the process for evaluating the performance of the town administrator and consider extending the charge and appointments of members of the Operational Review Committee until March 23, 2012 to complete their work.
The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Large Hearing Room.
