Selectmen’s Meeting
April 5, 2011
Pledge of Allegiance
Roll Call: Harry Wright, Chairman; Jack Meaney, Selectman; Barry Wheeler, Selectman
Appearances:
1. Robert Manchester – Requested an update from the Selectmen on the CAP Lease negotiations begun last year, as well as other Community Center related topics. At the Board’s request he had done considerable research on the overall operation of the Center last year and did not believe any changes had been made. He charged the Selectmen with straightening out the situation and questioned status of the governance board. The Selectmen explained the reorganization and revitalization planned and that the BACC governance board would meet on April 12th to elect officers. With the volunteer help of Carol Adams, the BACC governance board intends to return the BACC to its original path of oversight and control of the Center with the Town responsible on just the physical building. There are questions to be resolved, and will be a work in progress until the BACC has reorganized. The CAP lease vs. the CAP appropriation was discussed. All new leases will be negotiated by the BACC Governance Board prior to approaching the Board of Selectmen for approval. The role of Parks and Recreation in the new organization is unknown at this time.
2. Mr. Manchester also had questions regarding regionalization for safety services. He recommended the Board of Selectmen try to at least deal with coverage on a per shift basis for police and rescue.
