MONSON BOARD OF SELECTMEN
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2004
The regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen convened at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room at 110 Main Street. In attendance were James R. Manning, Kathleen C. Norbut and Richard E. Guertin. Also present were Town Counsel, the Town Administrator and the media.
Mr. Guertin made a motion to accept the meeting minutes of November 3, 2004 – open and executive sessions, October 26, 2004 – executive session and November 9, 2004 – open and executive sessions. Ms. Norbut seconded. Mr. Guertin made one change to the open session meeting minutes of November 9th, on page two, the 15th sentence, should read as follows, “Mr. Guertin said he supports the $10,000.00 at this time”, and it was so VOTED as amended.
Mr. Manning read the winter parking memo into the record, which stated, during the winter season, there will be no parking on streets between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. starting with the first snowfall or December 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Mr. Manning stated this is already in effect, as we have already had our first snowfall.
The next item on the agenda was the contract renewal/reappointment of the Chief of Police, Curtis McKenzie. Mr. Manning explained this is not a public hearing, it is a procedural vote, not open for discussion. Ms. Norbut read the public statement into the record as attached. Mr. Guertin made a motion the Board of Selectmen do not renew the Police Chief’s contract ending on June 30, 2005. Ms. Norbut seconded and it was so VOTED.
Correspondence was not read due to the disruption from the public audience.
At 7:10 p.m. Mr. Guertin made a motion to adjourn from open session to go into executive session, not to return to open session. Ms. Norbut seconded and it was so VOTED.
