SPECIAL MEETING
December 15, 2009
Present was James C. Lehan, Robert J. Garrity, James M. Tomaszewski and Jack Hathaway, Town Administrator.
The Board discussed the organizational issues of the reporting structure under the Town Administrator. Jack reviewed the current structure, and the Board discussed possible issues of how to change reporting and the main understanding was to try to look at the workload of Jack and see how it would helpful to have some type of reorganization. The Board looked at issues such as the future retirement of the DPW Director, and some issues of the individuals in Accounting and Treasurer’s, and see whether, at some point in time, we could have an Asst. Town Administrator or some other title underneath to help in the development, and future backup for Jack as well as take some of the work load away as he is getting overburdened.
One of the questions that came up was to do an analysis of the organizational structure of some of the comparable towns around us in terms of size and structure and also look at the possibility of this person being a town planner, town engineer or town inspector, and how that would work into the DPW structure.
The meeting ended with no conclusion, but the Board will have another meeting going forward.
