Police Chief
Search Committee
Wednesday, July
14, 2010
Present: At-large members Susan
Adams, John Carr, Tom Moran, Bob Parodi, Laurie Perreault, Ann Somers;
SelectmenÕs Representative Jack Flanagan
The meeting was called to order at 7:00
p.m.
The minutes of June 30th
were approved as written (Jack moved/Laurie seconded, voted 6-0 before Tom
arrived).
A draft confidentiality agreement was reviewed. It was moved we accept them (Ann/Jack,
7-0), and to avoid delay we signed them as presented, with minor hand-edited corrections.
Susan reported that the ads for the
position
of Chief of Police had been placed as recommended. John noted that the Police Chief web site had not responded,
and he will talk with them. He
said also that we had just missed the July issue of the Police Standards and
Training newsletter, but the ad will be in the August issue which goes out in
late July.
Susan proposed a simple form for Rena to
use to record incoming resumes and letters of interest in the job, showing
name, date received, and number of pages; it was approved by consensus. All materials will go to Rena to be
logged in before the committee reviews them.
Susan offered a draft Candidate
Tracking Form,
to record where in the process each candidate is at any given time. There will be one copy of this form
only, kept in the master file at the Town Hall. We decided to use a 1-3 evaluation score: 1 = high interest,
2 = interest, 3 = low interest.
We considered a multitude of procedural
matters
ranging from record-keeping to how to conduct the various fact-finding tasks
assigned to the committee. Many of
procedures will be developed and refined as we move forward.
Moved by Bob, seconded by Laurie, any
e-mails sent to the group as a whole will be saved as part of the record and
kept with the minutes. 7-0 yes.
