For Robert Wood as the next Town Manager and to authorize the Chair to begin contract negotiations.
From the minutes
“Member Reed made a motion for Robert Wood as the next Town Manager and to authorize the Chair to begin contract negotiations. Member Rein seconded. Chair Weinstein opened the floor again to discussion. Member Areson believes that they have two strong candidates. She is prepared to go along with this motion to reach consensus because they do not want to start the process over again. She would also like to make sure that if the Chair is beginning contract negotiations, that the entire Board is consulted before, or during, this process so that they can weigh in on portions of the contract. Member Worthington stated she's grateful to everyone's work on this and will go along with the vote even though she would prefer Mr. O'Brien. She added that her preference is in no way to say that Mr. Wood cannot do the job. She hopes they are making the right decision. Chair Weinstein put the motion to a vote. Member Rein-Aye Member Areson-Aye Member Worthington-Aye Member Reed-Aye Chair Weinstein-Aye So voted; 5-0-0, motion carries.” (Motion: Reed, second: Rein)
