Mr. Crowley mentioned the ADA Coordinator Position. The Executive Secretary that he had spoken with the Committee the previous night, that the Committee would discuss it more amongst themselves, and he was hoping that one of the Committee members would volunteer. Mr. Crowley stated that he joined the ADA Committee at the tail end of the Exec. Sec. discussion on Monday evening and discussion continued after the Executive Secretary went on to another meeting. The ADA Committee feels that the Board of Selectmen should designate a full time employee as the ADA Coordinator. However, the first thing that has to be done is the preparation of a job description. Acting Chairman Murdoch asked Mr. Crowley if the ADA Committee would prepare to the best of their ability a job description and submit it to
the Board some time before the end of May. Mr. Crowley stated he felt the ADA Committee would do that. At that point, the Board can discuss appointing a coordinator. Mr. Frisoli gave a brief overview of the Clerical contract - announcing that it represented a two year contract with a 4% increase each year and an additional 1/2 day holiday, along with several wording changes. He wanted to publicly thank the Clerical Union for their cooperation in negotiations and settling the contract in two nights. Motion by Crowley, 2nd Murdoch to approve and sign the contract as presented. 4-0 vote.
Executive Secretary asked the Board to clarify for Paul Pina his entertainment license and that he has requested to be open on the 1, 15th and 29th of May, since there are five weeks in the month of May. Motion by Andrews, 2nd Crowley to allow the request. 4-0 vote.
Motion by Andrews, 2nd Crowley to accept the report and recommendations of the Capital Improvement Committee. 4-0 vote.
Motion by Andrews, 2nd Frisoli to waive the building permit fee for the roof and associated work at the Indian Head School. 4-0 vote.
Mr. Nugent presented an overview of a meeting with the engineers re Rte. 58 citing a variety of work that has to be done and stated that the grinding, it appears, would not start until approximately June 7. Board expressed some great concerns over the initial start up of the project and what they construe to be unnecessary delays and have directed the Exec. Sec. to draft a letter to Commissioner Karasiotis. They would also request a meeting to be held at 7:30 Monday or Tuesdau morning next week with State Reps. to discuss issues re Rte. 58.
Motion to adjourn by Andrews, 2nd Crowley, 4-0 9:45.
