Templeton Board of Selectmen 

 Town Hall Conference Room 

160 Patriots Road, East Templeton, Massachusetts 

 Monday, April 25, 2016, 6:30 p.m. 

Present: Board of Selectmen: John Columbus, Diane Haley Brooks, Doug Morrison, and Julie Richard; and Town Administrator, Robert Markel, were in attendance. Kenn Robinson was not in attendance. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. 

 Insurance Advisory Committee~ Bob explained that the state statute requires 7 employees and 1 retiree to be on this committee. Ms. Haley Brooks  made a motion to rescind the Board of Selectmen appointment to this committee. Mr. Morrison seconded the motion. The vote was 4 yes. This vote changes the makeup of the committee to be in compliance with Massachusetts General Laws, which supercede any Town Bylaws or Board of Selectmen votes/decisions. 

So, how did selectmen business become Advisory Committee business? Which kind of makes my point, I was informing the general public of this and at the same time correcting the bogus information that dave smart put out in a comment on a blog. This item was indeed selectmen business because again, it did not go to Town Meeting, it did not go to Advisory Committee nor did it go to the Planning Board.
