I move the Board of Selectmen require protective masking in all Town Buildings for employees and customers. Employees who are able to keep a 6ft distance in private offices may remove their masks if fully vaccinated. I also authorize the Town Administrator to lift the mandatory mask mandate after consultation with the Health Agent.
The minutes give the count 2-3-0 and name Emberg (N), Vaughn (N), Arruda (N); individual votes left blank because names, count and attendance do not line up.
