All documents mentioned are available in the Select Board packet for this meeting date located on our town website. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM. Dr. Lopez started the meeting off with a covid update noting the town is still a'moderate risk' level. There are currently 68 cases. Mark Dockser welcomed Chris Haley to the board. Anne Landry echoed Mark's thoughts and thanked Mark for his work as chair the past year. The Town Manager took over the meeting while the board reorganized to pick a new chair. He opened the Floor for nominations. Anne Landry nominated Karen Herrick. Chris Haley made a motion to delay the reorganization until the board can meet in person again. Most other board members did not agree with this idea noting they do not think in-person meetings are even close to happening. Carlo Bacci feels zoom is a hard platform for residents to use for public comment and we should start thinking about getting back to in- person meetings. The other members disagreed. The board voted on the motion Haley put forth with the following: Carlo Bacci — yes; Anne Landry — no; Mark Dockser — no; Chris Haley — yes; Karen Herrick — no. Page 1 1
