July Proclaimed Disability Pride Month in Ware
The Select Board approved a proclamation recognizing July as Disability Pride Month. The proclamation acknowledges the contributions of people with disabilities, reaffirms commitment to equality and inclusion, and marks the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Appointments Made to Conservation and Finance Committees
The Select Board reappointed Bob Kranznicki to the Conservation Commission for a three-year term. They also appointed Brenda Robel and Michelle McGuigan to fill two vacancies on the Advisory Committee, also known as the Finance Committee. Ms. Talbot, the town clerk, withdrew her application for the Finance Committee due to controversy surrounding her eligibility to serve on multiple committees while holding a town clerk position.
Select Board Reviews Budget Shortfall, Explores Health Insurance Savings, and Pool Funding
The Select Board discussed potential impacts on the town budget, including a $50,000 shortfall between approved budget and state revenues, and a potential $200 million in new state funds for school districts and transportation. They also considered a proposal to evaluate health insurance options to potentially reduce costs, with a consultant's presentation suggesting Blue Cross Blue Shield, though concerns were raised about the consultant's affiliation. The board also discussed the need for a town manager, a mechanic for the DPW, and potential funding for a pool/splash pad design.
Opioid Settlement Funds Awarded to Quavog Connector for Recovery Support
The Select Board approved a mini-grant application for $15,000 from opioid settlement funds to support the Quavog Connector's fare-free program for individuals in recovery or at risk of opioid use disorder. This program will provide fare-free rides to Ware residents for various needs, including recovery meetings, healthcare, employment, and maintaining housing. The grant will fund staff time dedicated to administering the program.
Work Group to Draft Town Manager Job Description
The Select Board discussed the process for hiring a new town manager. A work group consisting of two select board members and the town manager (Stuart) will be formed to review job descriptions from other towns (Charlton, among others) and draft a description aligned with the town charter for the board's future review.
