White referred to draft RFQ and requested the board’s permission to go forward. Goodwin noted that Norton and Mansfield had talked about sharing similar municipal services other than kenneling.

On Goodwin’s motion, seconded by Corona, the board voted unanimously to allow all licensed package stores within the Town of Easton to remain open 7 days of the week, with the Sunday hours to be 12:00pm to 10:00pm., subject to conditions imposed by the ABCC, with all other conditions of each license unchanged.
Article 19
Patricia Webster and Personnel Plan Review Committee(PPRC) Chairman Jeff Morse were present.
Marsan noted that when the board last discussed the issue, it was agreed that a committee consisting of White, Morse, Haederle and Assistant Assessor Anne Carney (representing the non union group) would meet for the purpose of coming up with an alternative amendment to the article. White updated the board on the progress of those meetings. Two meetings were held and a proposal was drawn up, but not supported by all the above representatives. It was noted that Haederle and Morse do not support the amendment. White referred to this amendment as “plan b”. See attached proposed amendment. Haederle referred to the alternative and felt strongly that a Selectmen member should not be representing it at the STM. Tufts noted that each member has a right to propose an amendment. Marsan spoke of how important it is if a member speaks of an amendment, it must be clear that the board did not endorse the amendment and they are speaking as a citizen. Goodwin referred to “plan b” and felt that it should be presented now, at the Selectmen’s meeting, or she could not support the “plan b”. Tufts noted that his basic question as to why changes were being proposed requiring a charter change had not been answered. Haederle gave his opinion that if a wage and classification is done, the new Human Resources Board (HRB) should do it, causing the need to change the charter. Marsan spoke of the warrant article as printed and the need for an amendment, cleaning up the article and the flaws relating to it. Marsan suggested that another amendment might be requested, implying a different intention.
