11 <br /> <br />Board of Selectmen <br />Minutes <br />February 9, 2015 <br /> <br />Mills Land Transfer Discussion: (continued) <br /> <br />Selectman Gottlieb recommended the Board communication with the new <br />administration, Governor Baker’s office with correspondence copied to Lt. <br />Governor Polito that clearly states the conservation restriction designation for the <br />Mills Lands and the additional parcels were never part of the original Mills Lands <br />agreement and should not be considered. Although the Community Preservation <br />Committee has been awaiting reimbursement from the Town of Barnstable in the <br />amount of $150,000 to convey an interest in the Mills Lands to the Town of <br />Barnstable, the transaction has taken five years to finalize. It was noted the <br />Community Preservation Committee Chair was apprised on this matter and in his <br />opinion; there should not be any restrictions on the property. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL TOPICS: <br /> <br /> <br /> Certify & Confirm Hiring Certification for Firefighter/Paramedic: <br /> <br />Motion made by Selectman Cahalane to place the above topic on the <br />Selectmen’s agenda. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman Sherman. <br />VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: <br /> Selectman Taylor, yes Selectman Richardson, yes <br /> Selectman Sherman, yes Selectman Cahalane, yes <br /> Selectman Gottlieb, yes Opposed, none <br /> <br />Fire Chief Tom Rullo was in attendance to request the Board approve the Hiring <br />Certification for Firefighter/Paramedic at Step 1 of the intended pay scale.
