Recommend the Annual Town Meeting Article 26 as amended
Motion to recommend the Annual Town Meeting Article 26 as amended
Yes: Gibson, McGowanNo: Elfman, Mitchell, O’Leary
From the minutes
“Motion to recommend the Annual Town Meeting Article 26 as amended by S. McGowan, 2nd by C. Mitchell. Discussion: ME – I don’t think we need this. It is another layer of oversight that we don’t need with CIP and Advisory Committee. CM – They are talking about people on the CIP Committee who if they lived in town, they would have no problem. Those two members are subject matter experts and we know for five years what is on the CIP plan for the 5 years. I don’t believe it needs another layer of review. SM – I respectfully disagree. This was brought forward by a different person this time and last time it was approved to move forward last time. The merit to this article is that no employee will be on the CIP Committtee. The arguments are who would know the budgets better than the person presenting it but to that what does the School Superintendent know about DPW and vice versa. CM – They work hand in hand every day. SM – You are asking that person to vote on something they don’t have the expertise on. The merit of the article to have an independent review committee. I wanted to make sure that there is a lot of meat to that article. The process isn’t perfect and I’m not sure we are following the bylaw of who should be on the committee. LG – I usually have strong opinions but on this I’m in the middle. I don’t think it’s broken but I have had people contact me about it. I will support it and let it go to town meeting and the citizens decide. EO – I think mentioning that people will make up their own mind on what’s best for the community and it will be a vote at town meeting and it will be critical and necessary and that is what each of us are trying to do for this community. Opposed, 2-3. Selectmen Elfman, Mitchell and O’Leary against..” (Motion: McGowan, second: Mitchell)
