Mr. John Fallon of the Recreation Committee reported that Mr.
John Pacino has retired as Supt. of the Recreation Committee and his
position will be filled on an interim basis between now and September 1st.
We have requested Mr. William Carroll fill in and will notify the
Department of any further information.
Mr. Griffin requested that a letter be transmitted to Mr. John
Pacino on behalf of the Board wishing him the best and thanking him for
his over 30 years of service to the Town.
Regarding the Board Meeting with the Board of Selectmen, Mr.
Barker felt it would be appropriate that we present the Board of Selectmen
with our copies of the "Black Crook" for their use, as well as a Contract
Status Sheet and Board of Survey Status report.
Mr. Griffin stated I will request that the Board of Selectmen
seek independent Water and Sewer Commissioners. Secondly, that the
Community Planning and Development Commission members should be appointed
as quickly as possible, even prior to July 1st and that they be asked to
meet with the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendents on the Board of
Survey regulations. He added this strikes me as extremely important.
