Select Board unanimously appoints Joseph Cattell as town representative to Tri County committee
Summary
The North Attleborough Select Board voted unanimously to appoint Joseph Cattell as the town's representative to the Tri County committee after brief remarks from the incumbent and local supporters and discussion of attendance records.
The North Attleborough Select Board voted unanimously to appoint Joseph Cattell as the town's representative to the Tri County committee on a motion and second during its meeting.
Stan, the incumbent representative to the committee, said he took over the seat from "Mister Wilkinson" and wants to continue serving to see a new school construction project through to completion. "We've started off in pretty good. We're not we're within budget," Stan said, and added that he asks "the hard questions at the board meetings about the budgets and the cost." He also noted involvement with a local vocational event: "we're having a big, vocational thing at the, stadium this year with Aaron Witt and some of the people."
A local business owner, identified only as a business owner in the town, told the board he had hosted students during construction and emphasized the value of trades education, saying it was important to "keep the trades having employees in the trades." Another board member said Stan presented a letter of support from the superintendent of Tri County to the board that evening.
Board members discussed Stan's attendance record. A board member summarized that Stan attended "6 out of 36" building-committee meetings (the daytime development committee) and "36 out of 47" regular meetings, noting he missed 11 meetings. Stan clarified which counts applied to the building committee versus the development committee.
After brief discussion and endorsements from several board members, a motion was made to appoint Joseph Cattell to the position; the motion was seconded. The board took a roll-call vote with each member responding "Yay," and the motion passed unanimously. The chair congratulated "Mister Cattell" after the vote.
The appointment carries forward the town's representation on Tri County-related matters, including oversight of the ongoing school construction project and related budget questions. No formal objections or alternative nominees were recorded in the transcript.
