East Granby board approves ethics commission and school building committee appointments; accepts small tax refund
Summary
At its June 23 meeting the East Granby Board of Selectmen approved nominees to the town's Ethics Commission, formed a School Building Committee to oversee demographic and feasibility studies, and accepted a $56.24 tax refund to CoreLogic Tax Services LLC. A participant raised concerns about a prospective ethics commissioner's social media posts.
The East Granby Board of Selectmen on June 23 approved nominations to the town's Ethics Commission and created a School Building Committee to guide demographic and feasibility work related to future school construction.
First Selectperson Jason Hayes presented the Ethics Commission slate and asked for a motion to approve Paul Oliva (two-year term), Steve Pham (three-year term), Oliver Davis (three-year term), Bill Ullman (two-year term) and Elizabeth Jacobs (three-year term). A board participant raised a concern without naming names that one proposed member "makes some angry posts on social media," saying "It's not a good look" and recommending disclosure of social media activity; the concern was noted but the nominations were approved by voice vote.
Hayes also announced the members of a newly formed School Building Committee, saying the group will help review demographic and feasibility work being done for the Board of Education and evaluate design options presented by the architect firm referenced in the meeting transcript as "g w w o." Named committee members included Mark Dugaleski, Keith Antaya, Drew Namnoon, Rosemary Pizzaferado, Magdalena McKay, Paul Tulin, Brett Lohman, Brian O'Connor, Tom Carroll and Jonathan Matlock. The board moved to approve the committee as presented and the motion passed by voice vote.
In new business the board approved a single tax refund of $56.24 payable to CoreLogic Tax Services LLC after a motion, second and voice vote.
Votes taken during the meeting were voice votes with no roll-call tallies provided in the transcript. The board recorded no public comments prior to adjournment.
