Two weeks from the last Paris selectboard meeting, one week to go: the second and forth Mondays.
No written news does not necessarily mean things are nowhere.... It simply indicates that unless a public information situation arises there will not be fabricated information presented.
This is where we are:
*This Wednesday Sept. 8 the Paris Selectboard will meet in executive session to discuss "a process for evaluating the town manager.” This semi annual review has not been a pattern in recent years. Perhaps this one is in deference to the town of Paris' personnel policy that requires every newly hired employee serve a 6 month probationary period?
But can such an evaluation be a bad thing? Expectations can be presented on both sides of the equation.
Perhaps there will be a discussion of sick leave , and how and when it kicks in?
One assumes another executive session to actually evaluate the town manager will follow in the near future.
And one hopes that the general voting public would be notified if there was any problem, any discrepancy, any irregularity that they should be informed of. Because, otherwise, one tiny little citizens' watch group would have their hands full, wouldn't they?
*ATV's and any citizen concerns thereof are at a standstill for the moment.
*Next Monday 9-13-10 Paris Selectboard will have their regular meeting. The public is welcome.
*Tuesday 9-14-10 the Paris Planning Board will hold a public hearing at the town office for the Grace Baptist Church 5 day per week Christian day school. The school is on Paris Hill Road, part way up the hill beyond Mink Farm Road. This will be the second (or is it third) in the series. The Paris Planning board is working at best capacity with the ordinances at hand.
*There is a rate increase in the future for Paris Utility District. A hefty one. Last word was that the next meeting would be September 20.
*Norway Paris Solid Waste - a half-million dollar budget of tax payer dollars...a new board and new input. But an open question as to where it all will lead....
This is our town. We all have to keep watch.
