Annual Town meeting of 2013 (this is no longer contained in Templeton Town by-laws, as it has been changed)
Article 46 To see if the Town will vote to amend Article III of the Revised General By-laws by
adding the following new section 4 or to take any other action related thereto:
Section 4: Town AdministratorThe
Selectmen are authorized and empowered to appoint an executive secretary or
town administrator who may be appointed by them for a term of one or three years
31
and to remove him at their discretion. An executive secretary or town administrator
appointed under the provisions of this section shall be sworn to the faithful
performance of his duties. During the time that he holds office he shall hold no
elective town office, but he may be appointed by the selectmen or, with their
approval, by any other town officer, board, committee or commission, to any other
town office or position consistent with his office. He shall receive such aggregate
compensation, not exceeding the amount appropriated therefore, as the selectmen
may determine. He shall act by and for the selectmen in any matter which they may
assign to him relating to the administration of the affairs of the town or of any town
office or department under their supervision and control, or, with the approval of the
selectmen, may perform such other duties as may be requested of him by any other
town officer, board, committee or commission.
Submitted by the Board of Selectmen
On a motion duly made and seconded the town voted that Article III of the Revised
General By-laws be amended, by adding the following new section 4, as follows:
Section 4: Town Administrator-
“The Board of Selectmen is authorized and empowered to appoint a town
administrator who may be appointed for a term of one or three years, and to remove
the town administrator at their discretion. The town administrator appointed under the
provisions of this section shall be sworn to the faithful performance of the duties of
the office. During the time that the town administrator holds office the town
administrator shall hold no elective town office, but may be appointed by the Board
of Selectmen or, with their approval, by any other town officer, board, committee or
commission, to any other town office or position consistent with the town
administrator’s office. The Town Administrator shall receive such aggregate
compensation, not exceeding the amount appropriated therefore, as the Board of
Selectmen may determine. The Town Administrator shall act by and for the Board of
Selectmen in any matter which the Board may assign to the town administrator
relating to the administration of the affairs of the town or of any town office or
department under their supervision and control, or, with the approval of the Board of
Selectmen, may perform such other duties as may be requested by any other town
officer, board, committee or commission.”
And, further, to reflect the above-mentioned amendment to Article III of the
Templeton Revised General By-Laws, the following Templeton Revised General ByLaw
sections will also be amended by replacing the title of “Town Coordinator” with
the title of “Town Administrator” in
Article XLII-Capital Planning By-Law- Section 1:
And in: Article XLVII-Personnel By-Law –Section 3(b) and Section 3 (c)
Passed/May 16th @ 8:37
Seems pretty plain, if the selectmen have the T/A sign a contract, it is on their behalf and they are responsible for it, just as if they signed it themselves. Only this is no longer in the Templeton by-laws. It was replaced in 2014 with something else.

I think little davey is delusional and may need some meds (in my opinion)
What settlement could davey be speaking of? I have made no settlement on my behalf and as I am not a selectmen, I could not sign off on one either.
Sticking up for management over where? I merely stated that the borrowing involving light & water has gone to town meeting, including the funding for the building on Bridge Street. If a borrowing proposal was brought before Town meeting, the people approved it and so you can't blame the light & water commissioners for that. Town's people could have voted no and that would have been it.
secondly, I stated if little davey is so unhappy with Templeton light, go do something like get a petition to rescind the chapter 93 acts of 2000. As for a vote of the Advisory Committee seeking access to VADAR, it was, at least for my vote, to make it easier for Advisory Committee to have access to town's books and records, which is according to town by-law (s) You know, the things the selectmen seem to have a problem with following.
As I have already stated, the general manager lied to selectmen and everyone else when he styated at a selectmen meeting that the department just found out they had to go to town meeting for borrowing, that is contained in a letter from the DOR to the town, which sort of answered a question asked of DOR from the then Templeton board of selectmen, of which I was a member at the time.
Since 2009, there was a recommendation for a formal PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement be written so as to designate a formula for a monetary contribution to the general fund of Templeton from the Templeton municipal light & water department. To the best of my knowledge, that was never put into writing, so it would have been kind of hard to "just let something go" that never was!
Seems like little davey is fine with anyone who picks on the light & water department, but say anything about highway or point out a contract that gives little davey freebies and benefits and he gets all bent out of shape and tries and tries to belittle you, provoke you and whatever else he tries, to no avail! Still waiting on the rest of the story.

a comment from little davey
So who does what ?
One would think after 101 years + that would be known and spending money with a lawyer would be the last thing he would waist our money on. No advisory on this matter was given and why would it.
Or we can spend it on a settlement or two for JEFFY
So why does Jeffy stick up for the management over there and why did he just let the PILOT go away without a fight. Make one wonder what he is doing on advisory and wanting access to the towns vadar system.
Is it that it will allow the Light manager to get the access from him to take a look see and know more about the towns stuff.
This will like other things be deleted and will show up on the real Templeton watch as a time stamped deleted entry for the proof is in the time stamp.
Old Business;
The Manager updated the Board on the status of the situation regarding the processing and
mailing of the light and water vendor warrant checks; who was to handle the task, the Town or
the TMLWP? Old Business;

So stop blaming the light commissioners for the added debt, they just asked for it, town meeting said do it and the selectmen supported it!
So they just asked for it when they have millions in the bank they want to pay interest to make the profit margin smaller so they can keep the rates higher than needed to run the Templeton light monopoly. 8% max ask the admin of state regulator jeffy!
