The town administrator had scheduled at our Tuesday meeting this week the Board of Selectmen to discuss our goals, both for ourselves as selectmen and also for him, for the upcoming year. This was the first item to be scheduled from the new annual calendar for the Board of Selectmen.
I emailed my goals to my colleagues in advance, the same day I posted them here, so they could give them due consideration. I asked them to do the same. Ann responded that she was afraid sharing hers ahead of time would violate the Open Meeting Law.
At our meeting this week, Ann stated a couple of goals at the meeting, but had nothing written out to distribute. I noted that she mentioned the Medfield State Hospital, buildings, sidewalks, and finances. Mark handed out the following goals, and I suggested that we consider the goals at our next meeting where Ann and Mark had not distributed theirs ahead of time.
