The Committee interviewed Heather McLean for a position on the Human Relations Advisory
Committee. She noted that the Human Relations Advisory Committee appeals to her. She
moved to Reading with her wife one year ago. Kevin Sexton asked if she had been to any
meetings and she indicated she has not but is planning on attending their meeting on
Thursday. She noted that she lives and works close so she doesn't foresee any problems
with her attendance at meetings.
John Halsey noted that this committee might become private which they would benefit
from. He noted that if they appoint Ms. Mclean to the three year term it would preclude the
Board of Selectmen from appointing their own representative. He recommends the one
year term.
A motion by Halsev seconded by Sexton to recommend Heather McLean to a
position on the Human Relations Advisory Committee with a term expiring June
30, 2016 was approved by a vote of 2 -0 -0.
Kevin Sexton noted that he spoke with Dick Robbins and he is very interested in the Animal
Control Appeals Committee and the Constable position.
A motion by Sexton seconded by Halsey to recommend appointing Richard Robbins
to the Animal Control Appeals Committee with a term expiring June 30, 2018 was
approved by a vote of 2 -0 -0.

as Constable with a term expiring June 30, 2017 was approved by a vote of 2 -0 -0.

not be made tonight.
