Remove the agenda item of the change in constitution of the committee from the agenda

From the minutes
“Mr. Trindade moved to remove the agenda item of the change in constitution of the committee from the agenda. Mr. Rossi seconded. Discussion: Mr. Rossi asked for confirmation that this was not discussed at their meeting last week. Ms. Phillips confirmed. Ms. Angelica Crosby, 4 Rockwood Road, stated that the Chair/Committee was blindsided that a Jessica Latosek was to be appointed tonight as she did not attend any meetings and noted that the other two residents for appointment on the agenda have attended meetings and have recommendations from the Chairs of these committees. She stated that talking to the Select Board is difficult especially when it gets aggressive with finger pointing and anger when what is said does not agree with the Select Board. Mr. Crowley noted that he admitted to his error and asked if his apology was accepted. Ms. Crosby stated her acceptance. Mr. Crowley stated that moving forward, he wants agreement that any changes to the constitution of a Board will require the Select Board to discuss this with the impacted Board. VOTE: 5-0-0.” (Motion: Trindade, second: Rossi)
