Discussion And Decision
In favor of Ms. Mistrot's motion, Mr. Hickey casting the dissenting vote, noting that he did not like the process or the sequencing
After a few other attempts at amending the motion, the final motion by Ms. Mistrot, seconded by Ms. Salamoff, was to support the Town Administrator's desire to create a single facilities management reporting structure in collaboration with and respect for all Town departments, including the School Department, that will be served under this structure. Mr. Hickey asked if supporting this motion would support the job description as written, noting that he had been prepared to deal with the job description subject to discussing changes with the School Department and leaving the supervisory structure for inclusion in a revised MOA. Ms. Mistrot said it would not, that the focus was simply on the reporting structure. Mr. Hickey stated he felt the reporting structure was separate from the job description. The Board voted 4-1-0 in favor of Ms. Mistrot's motion, Mr. Hickey casting the dissenting vote, noting that he did not like the process or the sequencing.
Yes: Freedman, Jennett, Mistrot, SalamoffNo: HickeyThe minutes give the count as 4-1-0 and name the exception (“Mr. Hickey casting the dissenting”); the other members present are shown voting yes.
