BOARD OF SELECTMEN Paige <br />MINUTES <br />MONDAYr J LY 121993 <br />Correspondence from Town Counsel _ re:i Grievance:_ <br />Nis. Hyde -Reed. Okay, is there a Personnel Board? It is my <br />understanding, there isn't any* <br />Selectman vatccaro : There are some members... That would be <br />he -first step we would take. The second step is to, I guess the <br />issue was brought up at a couple of meetings, relative to a <br />meeting to discuss certain actions that had been taken. <br />Selectman vaccaro : I think that every member of this Board <br />would he willing to have a public meeting and discuss why the <br />decision not to appoint Christine Donovan was made, If Christine <br />Donovan gives us a written release that allows us to do it. <br />Ms, Hyde -Reed: Okay. Our problem with the whole thing i <br />when Bob Connell left, the staff left, And, we had asked these <br />volunteers to stay where they are, We don't want them all <br />leaving enmatsse , but the Personnel Board's leaving. The support <br />for what is going on there is gone. Sol we don't know how far to <br />trust or whatever without going forwatrd e Jim, I have never been <br />involved with anything as hot as this in my whole life. Jim, <br />it's un omf ortal le . <br />Selectman Vaccaro: Terri, I' not suggesting that <br />you.,,,All I'm telling you is to try.., All I'm telling you is <br />that we have a very limited amount of things that we can publicly <br />do. Christine has the right to privacy. Nobody on this Board <br />wants to do anything that is going to hurt Christine's feelings. <br />She has been hurt enough, I'll be very frank, we don't want to <br />do anything else. We have to respect her privacy. So unless we <br />have a written release from her...we can't... <br />Hyde -Reed: Her future is fine. The future of these <br />Selectmen that's something different. There .is a recall process <br />we are going to start tomorrow actually, so Chats part of it, if <br />anyone else here...h, Ism sorry. <br />Betty Nichols: I worked like the devil for George Costa for <br />two elections.. I don't feel that he should be one of the two <br />Selectmen. I think Judy Mills should, but I really, much as I <br />like George personally, I do not feel he will be fair in this <br />instatnce. <br />Selectman Mills: I want to be very clear. I did not vote -to <br />reappoint Christine, I only offered to extend the six month <br />probationary period. <br />Betty Nichols: I understand that. <br />0 <br />
