Vote on Board of Health Chairman

 

 

·        Mr. Buckley explained why the BOH called the meeting.

·        Mr. Marriner asked Mr. Buckley ‘if he wanted to be the Chairman, as he didn’t want the position.’

·        Mr. Buckley replied “if you don’t want the position, I will take it.”

·        Mrs. Gendron said “we are a quorum of two, do we know if the BOS is temporarily adding someone to this board.”

·        “They are going to be advertising for a volunteer” said Mr. Buckley.

·        The reason this was mentioned just in case one member can’t make the meeting. The Health Agent has no jurisdiction to vote.

·        Mr. Marriner asked “why do we need a third person before the election.”

·        Mr. Buckley responded by saying “we are a three member board and we have a vacancy to fill, if we were a five member board, we wouldn’t have a problem to make a quorum, we are a quorum with two members but it’s not up to one member to make the decision.”

·        The Health Agent said “if she was to propose a permit and one member said yes and the other said no then you could run into problems.”

·        Mr. Marriner said “if it’s a good project we both will say yes and if it’s not we won’t approve it.”
