Per a unanimous roll call vote, the minutes of the meeting will be made public as follows;
The Board met with Tavish Forsyth to discuss his availability to rehire him until mid August as a Cable Operator. This is the best possible solution for the cable committee for there is an immediate need with recording meetings and special events and Tavish has the experience for he worked for the Cable Committee before leaving for college. A schedule was discussed to include recording Selectmen’s Meetings, School Board Meetings and Recreation Meetings. Tavish will also work on special recordings such as the Baseball Opening Day Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. Tavish was given the approval of the Cable Committee to use the digital camera for taping the School Board Meetings.
Mary made a motion to rehire Tavish Forsyth as a Cable Operator for the Town on Newton at an hourly rate of $11.70 per hour, Grade IX, Step 3 effective immediately. Donna seconded. Vote taken on motion and carried unanimously.
- Diane will assist Tavish with taping the Newton Baseball opening ceremony on May 5 at 10:00am
