SPECIAL JOINT MEETING CITY COUNCIL & WPC AUTHORITY AND THE BOARD OF FINANCE
MAY 5, 2011
A SPECIAL JOINT MEETING of the City Council & WPC Authority and the Board of Finance was held in the City Hall Auditorium on Thursday, May 5, 2011.
Present were Mayor Ryan Bingham, City Councilors Gregg Cogswell, Elinor Carbone, Paul Samele, Gerald Zordan, Marie Soliani and Drake Waldron, Board of Finance members Daniel Farley, Mark Bushka, Thomas Scoville, Laurene Pesce, Brian Paganini and Wendy Traub, Comptroller Alice Proulx, Police Chief Michael Maniago, Deputy Police Chief Christopher Smedick, Fire Chief John Field, Deputy Fire Chief Gary Brunoli, Board of Public Safety Commissioner James Potter, Assessor Donna Patchen, Administrative Assistant to the Mayor Stephen Nocera, City Clerk Joseph Quartiero and Personnel Director Thomas Gritt.
Mayor Bingham called the meeting to order at 5:44 p.m.
He explained R. Thomas Crovo has been chosen as tax collector, and there are significant changes being made in his contract. Due to some technical changes and communication delays, the contract cannot be completed yet. Because his current contract ends May 13, 2011, it needs to be extended to allow negotiations to be finished. He said this will have no impact on the budget but there are some finer details to work out.
Mrs. Pesce asked if the extension should go beyond a month and match the fiscal year. Mayor Bingham said they need to allow enough time to set up and generate bills for July 1st.
