Summary
The Rowe Board of Selectmen unanimously approved a shared Fire Chief/Emergency Manager contract with Charlemont and appointed Christopher Goodhind to a three-year term effective immediately through June 30, 2029 (vote: 3-0-0).
Chair Joanne Semanie opened the Aug. 13 meeting by moving to approve a shared Fire Chief/Emergency Manager contract between the towns of Charlemont and Rowe and to appoint Christopher Goodhind to a three-year term effective immediately through June 30, 2029. The motions passed unanimously, with the board recording votes of 3-0-0 for both actions.
Semanie made both motions on the record: "MOTION TO APPROVE AND SIGN: Chair Semanie motioned to approve and sign the shared Fire Chief/Emergency Manager contract between Christopher Goodhind and the Towns of Charlemont and Rowe, as written." The board then voted on the appointment: "MOTION TO APPOINT: Chair Semanie motioned to appoint Christopher Goodhind as the Fire Chief/Emergency Manager for a three-year term effective immediately, with a term ending June 30, 2029." Both were seconded and carried unanimously.
The board indicated the appointment is tied to its ongoing Fire Chief succession planning (Old Business item 1). No public opposition or alternative candidates were recorded in the minutes. The motions and the unanimous vote conclude the formal action; implementation details and any employment paperwork were not specified in the record.
