Dalton Select Board appoints conservation commission member, approves personnel and minutes actions

At the working session the Dalton Select Board handled several administrative items, including an appointment to the conservation commission, approval of meeting minutes and nonpublic minutes, motions to enter nonpublic sessions for personnel and legal matters, and acceptance of a revised transfer-station manager position description.

Speaker 3 told the board the conservation commission had submitted a letter of interest for 'John Swan' to join the commission. Later, speaker 1 moved to appoint 'John Sloan' to the conservation commission; speaker 2 seconded and the board voted 'Aye' to approve the appointment. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings (John Swan vs. John Sloan); the board record should be checked to confirm the correct appointee name.

The board approved the March 16 regular meeting minutes and related nonpublic-session minutes after a motion and second. Chair (speaker 2) moved to approve and later to seal nonpublic session number 3 minutes in keeping with what the board described as compliance with 'a 91 a' during the discussion of nonpublic documentation.

Chair (speaker 2) moved that the board go into nonpublic session for personnel and legal matters; the motion was seconded and approved. On returning to public session, the board voted to seal the minutes for the referenced nonpublic session.

The board reviewed and approved a revised position description for a transfer-station manager. Warren suggested adding a bullet requiring the manager to be "responsible for cleanliness, maintenance, repair, and organization of the facility and surrounding grounds." The board approved incorporating that language and directed the select board chair to include the final position description with an offer letter.

The meeting adjourned after a motion and vote.
