I. r h 4 5 BOARD of SELECTMEN Page MINUTES MONDAY, JULY 121 1993 Correspondence from Tory Counsel re: _Grievance: r Al Polsi; We haven't found anything out in,the paper or heard from anyone explaining their reasons. That is your reason for laying her off or not re -appointing her? That is what the people want to know. I think we owe that to the people who have elected you and to the taxpayers of the town. Al Polsi: Because, we are going to be facing in the next few months, very, very important issues such as, we are going to build a new high school. We have to fund other programs. The people are going to be so disturbed with what happened here, it is going to be very difficult to get anything through the town. Your going go divide this town completely. Al Polsi: You've got to re -consider what you have done and at least give a reason for why you've done. I'm not saying to re- hire, but give a reason. Deidre reelish: I am a little concerned that your first response to the crowd was to read a legal opinion. Because, you got into office on recall and that selectman had the stupi-dity..about what was printed in the paper that what he did was legal even if it wasn't moral, I think these people are not interested in legal.., they are interested in answers.* and you. are saying that the grievance was in the paper that Christine Donovan was trying to bring for the town, it was really just trying to bring the thing out into the open. Mrs. reelish: While we don't have to address that grievance, I think everybody here can put their Wane on that grievance and say here, the Town of Mashpee is making the grievance. All of that ... we want it addressed in an open meet i ng . Mrs, reelih: The fact that this fifteen minutes they had to almost beg to get the ' fifteen minutes. That fifteen minutes for Public Discussion has been on that agenda all through Nancy. offyn's tenure. It was instituted by Carol Jacobson. This is the open government. People just voted two months ago to status quo, everything is working, the Board is working, let's keep it the way it is, This is not the way it was two months ago. And, we want it back the way it was before, Amen.. Selectman vaocaro: May I make some suggestions. Number one, the reason that I read the letter from Town Counsel was because Mrs, Caffyn suggested it was on the agenda and I think it was appropriate because it sets the legal aspects of the case. 0 0
