How these numbers work
- Counted from the official minutes, for 2017–2018 Board only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
- Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Napoli as present or absent at the start.
- Only votes the minutes record member by member are counted. Voice votes and votes given only as a count (for example 6-3 with no names) are not.
- Percentages are shown only when there are at least 10 meetings or votes to count.
- A split vote is one where at least one member voted yes and another voted no. “In the minority” means on the side with fewer votes; ties are not counted.
- “Whole board” combines every member’s record for the same term.
These numbers describe the record; they are not a grade. A no vote, an abstention or a minority vote is neither good nor bad. MassVoter never rates officials.

April 11, 2018: Offer the job to Pinard, with opposition from Napoli and Gerbig
There was discussion regarding it being different to promote sergeant to chief rather than deputy chief to chief. Glavey disagrees with the comment Santoro made that campus police is the same as town police. Chair DeCoste was uncomfortable with all the hypothetical answers from Santoro when he was asked for examples. Napoli said she thought he gave great examples. Glavey felt Satori wasn't "human" enough in his responses. Gerbig is concerned with Pinard's lack of leadership role. Knox made motion, Glavey seconded the motion and it was voted 3:2 to offer the job to Pinard, with opposition from Napoli and Gerbig.

It was moved by Glavey, seconded by Napoli and voted 5:0 to authorize execution of an amendment, effective July 1, 2018, to the municipal hauling contract with Waste Management of Fitchburg, MA expiring September 30, 2020 to include also municipal solid waste disposal and hauling to the Waste Management facility in Fitchburg, at a per ton cost of $76.00 for FY 2019 and $77.50 for FY 2020. 4.

Community Preservation Committee - ATM -9 Rick Wasler of the CPC stated that they will be supporting regional housing, Recreation department, monument repair, and the acquisition of Baker Homestead with their funding. (Knox Recused himself.) Glavey complimented the members of the CPC. Article #9 is 12 Robinson Road, known as the Baker Homestead. This article requires 2/3 vote since it is land acquisition. Asking price is $250,000. It's a 1673 house, pre- revolutionary property. The town can sell the property in the future. The Selectmen will answer who is going to manage it and what is the financial burden on the town in the future.

Historic museum, gift shop and café. The barn would have a gallery, the grounds would be used for small events. The property would be multi-purpose but education would be a big component. There's an original hearth with beehive kitchen which is very rare. Chair DeCoste said if the town buys the property, it will cost the town a lot more than the $250,000 cost to maintain and manage and offer for the residents. The Committee can already expect $938,000 from ten historical grants and organizations. This is to preserve the house alone. The plan to use for community purposes hasn't even been looked into yet, but there would be funding there as well. Glavey doesn't want town voters to focus on the CPC ideas because the vote will be to acquire the property with no clear decision as to what will happen beyond preserving it. Napoli concurred. Gerbig asked about due diligence before the sale. There have not been many inspections but at simple glance there is no obvious disrepair. It was discussed to have the Building Inspector out before Town Meeting. Gerbig questioned the carrying cost of owning an antique house. Zeldin, MPIC Chair, said that this house could drive the feel of the Town Common. Ed Mullen, Chairman of the Planning Board, would like to invite the CPC to come before the Planning Board as he feels the board would support this purchase. This would be the 8th oldest museum in the Commonwealth..” (Motion: Glavey, second: Napoli)
