Meeting moves to reprimand chief over Engine 4 certification; reprimand approved
Summary
An unidentified speaker brought a disciplinary matter concerning town employee Albert Bassett. The body moved to reprimand the chief for placing Engine 4 in service without certification; the motion passed and the meeting adjourned.
An unidentified speaker opened a meeting to consider a disciplinary action involving town employee Albert Bassett and asked the body to move into executive session before taking up the matter. After returning, the meeting considered a motion to reprimand the chief.
"Do I have a motion to reprimand the chief for his poor judgment in placing Engine 4 in service when it was not certified to be confirmed in a letter as discussed in executive session?" the unidentified speaker asked. A motion was made and seconded; multiple members responded "Aye," and the speaker announced the vote was unanimous, approving the reprimand.
The transcript records no further public detail about the underlying allegation beyond that it concerned Engine 4 being placed into service without required certification and that the matter had been discussed in executive session and referenced in a confirming letter. The record does not identify who moved or seconded the motion, nor does it provide individual vote names; the body announced a unanimous affirmative vote on the reprimand.
Shortly afterward, the meeting took a routine motion to adjourn. The motion was moved, seconded and carried with members saying "Aye," and the meeting was closed (the audio notes the time as "5 50").
