Citizen Alert: Norway-Paris Solid Waste Special Board Meeting

NPSW Board is planning a special meeting, 10:00a.m., Thursday, September 10th, Paris Town Office. The regularly scheduled monthly meeting would be the third Monday, in the evening. It is reported that the agenda is to remove one of the directors.
Questions that raise a red flag:
*Why would there be a need to meet other than at the regular meeting time?
*Why would this special meeting be in the daytime when regularly employed individuals
could not be present?
*Could there be a self-preservation effort considering this board might be about to undertake a move that is less than "in the spirit" of the Norway-Paris interlocal agreement - recently reaffirmed by the Paris Board of Selectmen at their August 24th meeting?
*Who is running the town(s) here?
*Who is paying for all of this - the NPSW annual budget being in the environs of a half-million dollars?
