Every vote, in order
Approve all three nominations
Ms. Roberts made the motion to approve all three nominations, seconded by Mr. Gitto. Vice Chair Carrara asked the Board to consult with Town Counsel given the fact that a stipend is included with the Board of Assessor's position. The applicant is a Town employee and may need special employee status. Ms. Bruttaniti came forward to confirm that she had consulted with Town Counsel and understood that she is ineligible for the stipend and unable to serve as a Town Meeting representative. Vice Chair Carrara expressed that he would like to see the written opinion of Town Counsel. On the motion, the Board voted 4 - yes 0 - no 1 - abstention.
The minutes give only the count (4-0-1), not who voted no or abstained.
