Wayne to proceed with Reedfield interlocal agreement for shared code enforcement officer
Summary
The Select Board agreed to pursue an interlocal agreement with the town of Reedfield to share a code enforcement officer for two days per week, endorsed staff and legal review, and voted to proceed with the draft and follow-up procedures required for town-meeting approval if necessary.
The Select Board reviewed a proposed interlocal agreement with the town of Reedfield to continue sharing a code enforcement officer two days per week and voted to adopt the draft as presented and proceed with attorney review and warrant procedures if required.
Town manager Shannon explained the arrangement: the CEO is Redfield's employee and serves Wayne under the interlocal agreement. The draft allocates a prorated share of employment costs to Wayne; staff said two days per week appears sufficient for Wayne's permitting and inspection workload, and that the arrangement is cost-effective compared with hiring a part-time local officer.
Board members asked whether town meetings would need to approve the specific interlocal agreement or whether the existing blanket authorization is sufficient; Shannon and others said the Redfield attorney advised their town meeting would review it and that Wayne's attorney should confirm whether a specific warrant article is needed. The board voted to adopt the draft and continue the review process, with staff to return any substantive edits for legal sufficiency.
