MINUTES OF THE READING RETIREMENT BOARD MEETING
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
The Reading Retirement Board held a special session meeting on November 10, 2015, in The Berger
Rim Town Hall, Reading, Massachusetts.
The meeting was called to order at 4:10 P.M. by Chairman Francis Driscoll in the presence of members
Thomas Clough, Nancy Heffernan, Sharon Angstrom, Joseph Veno, and Board Administrator, Colleen
Loughlin. Board Attorney Michael Sacco was also present.
• The Board met to meet with the Town Manager to discuss the transition issues /concems with moving
from Town Hall. The Administrator mistakenly gave the Town Manager the wrong date of
November 17a so unfortunately he was not able to attend as he had prior commitments. Therefore;
the Board proceeded with areas of concerns that will need to be resolved with the Town to ascertain if
additional services would need to be acquired by the Board prior to relocating. Based on the Town
possibly adding additional staff to their departments, the Reading Retirement Board believes that
relocation would best serve all parties due to the space constraints inherited in the layout of the Town
offices.
• JOSEPH VENO moved to keep retirement hours as they are (M, W, Th 8:00 -5:30, T 8:00 -7:00) until
the Board decides to change at a later date.
