Council approves personnel moves, septic loan top-up and safety streetlight
Summary
The council offered the building and zoning official position to Michael Diorio, hired recruit Joseph Paiva as a probationary police officer, approved a $6,800 CSSLP funding supplement for 102 Pole Bridal Road, and authorized a streetlight installation requested by local residents on public-safety grounds.
At its regular meeting the Scituate Town Council approved a set of personnel and program actions.
Council members moved to offer the position of building and zoning official to Michael Diorio and delegated authority to the council president and town administration to negotiate the salary and terms; the motion passed.
The council also approved the appointment of recruit Joseph Paiva as a probationary police officer, subject to completion of hiring steps and collective-bargaining agreement terms.
Under town business, owners Neil Dravnis and Margaret Pinky requested $6,800 in additional Community Septic System Loan Program (CSSLP) funds for septic design, tree removal, DEM fees and closing costs, potentially increasing assistance from an earlier $21,400 award and keeping total assistance within the town cap of $30,000 per unit; councilors discussed precedent concerns but approved the request by roll-call vote (majority Aye).
Separately, the council approved a resident request to add a streetlight on Pole Number 6 on Sean Pike after the police chief confirmed nighttime patrols and safety concerns; members discussed precedent but supported this safety-focused request.
