If one goes to the Templeton Town website at Templetonma.gov and click on town contracts and agreements, you can find the animal control agreement with Winchendon, MA. You will see it expired June 30, 2020. I inquired with the Templeton Town Administrator; his response was "Police Chief (and I’m not quite sure he had the authority so am checking) signed a one-year ACO"
Also, on the ethics liaison front, time flies; after the June 22, 2020 election, there is a 30 day time frame to submit paperwork that you have taken ethics test and have signed form, stating you have copy open meeting law, understand it, etc. and every two years, you are required to do it again. That is the responsibility of ethics liaison. I goofed and did not submit within time period. I caught it, did those things and brought it to town hall. That is an important requirement and task, to ensure all who are suppose to do it, actually follow through. The Town Administrator was appointed ethics liaison, so that seems to be another task not complete.
I'm wondering if the monthly fee under the ACO agreement is still being paid and if so HOW?
ReplyDeleteCarter needs to go now! He is costing the town money, time and respect and the lack of ACCOUNTABILITY id hurting our town.
Just watch the BOS meeting on Wednesday, our management team cannot even figure out how to get employees to do legally required parts of their job, it's Pathetic!
All of the "small things" add up. In reality, the Annual Town Report is not a little thing. It is the only record of what was done during the year. This is our history ! Failure of Department Heads to complete their reports on time is not acceptable. Carter should address this, it is his job. It is also a law to complete ethics testing. Carter knows this very well. So far in this post, Carter is two for two ! Time for him to go ! Actually long over due.
