[music] >> All right. Good evening. For the forum being president of the select board, I would like to call the select board and wage personnel board to order on Tuesday, June 23rd at 5:45 here
at the Lakeville Public Library. Lake Camas recording, is there anybody else in the audience recording this evening? Seeing none, if we could all rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance >> to the flag of the United States of
America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. >> [clears throat] >> So, if we could just maybe start down your end,
Andrew. We could just do introduce ourselves for those in the audience and those that will be watching in the future. >> Yep. Andrew Sukforth, town administrator. >> Paul Hunt, select board member. >> Leah Fabian, select board. >> Lorraine Carboni, select board.
>> Chris Alvanka, select board. >> Emily Sherwood, management analyst. >> Colleen Lee, executive assistant. >> Thank you. All right. Select announcements. Mr. Bunker. >> Good evening. Current committee
commission vacancies include the following. Associate member of the zoning board of appeals, member of the board of registrars, three at large members of the cable TV advisory committee, a member of the historical commission, an associate member of the historical
commission, an associate member of the planning board, one at large member of the zoning bylaw review advisory committee, one at large member of the energy advisory committee, and one at large member of the IT advisory committee. Details of these positions can be found
on the town's Facebook page or the town's website, lakevillema.org under news. That is all. >> Anybody else from the select board have anything for select board announcements? Okay. Andrew, pass it on to you and Emily for the
management and municipal report as well. >> Yep, thank you. Over the next week or so, the website's going to be going live on July 1st. So, that's the major focus of myself and Emily's time and attention basically this week to finalize everything that needs to be finalized. It's a lot of work,
um but I think it'll be worth it in the end. And the only other one I had, I think as everyone knows, the Old Colony election was this weekend. In Lakeville, it was 680 yes votes to 903 no votes. So, about 15% of the town's registered
voting population voted, and then district-wide it failed by a margin of about 62% to 38%. Um I think there's going to be some meeting at some point amongst the district to kind of game plan what the plan is going forward with
capital, um but I don't know that quite yet, but I will let the board know as it comes up. >> Okay. [snorts] And then I'd like to give a shout out to the town clerk and all of the people that helped put that together. I know they changed the venue
for the voting precinct, and from everything that I saw, everything was just very smooth. So, I do want to send a big shout-out to them for taking care of that for us. >> Yeah, that's that's everything we had.
>> Emily, do you have anything to report? >> Um just in addition to the website, I guess I'll just mention that we do have the better diversity grant. Um last week working on finishing up with uh the Long Pond Association, that's due tomorrow, so that's the only other thing. That's kind of the main focus.
>> Okay. Anybody have any questions for Andrew or Emily? Okay. So, we brought back the set of minutes for approval for April 14th. Uh just want to make sure that you both versions are copying that in there.
We just need to have it right. Okay. And then I'll entertain a motion to approve the Selectboard and Wage and Personnel meeting minutes of April 14th. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Discussion? Hearing none, roll, please. >> Hunt, I.
>> Vivian, I. >> Carmody, I. >> Walsh, I. >> Thank you, Colleen. All right, first item of item B, number one, discussion possible vote to open the July 27th, 2026 special town
meeting warrant on June 23rd, 2026, [clears throat] which is today, and to close that special town meeting warrant on Thursday, July 2nd at 10:00 a.m.
Andrew, take it away. >> So, we scheduled the meeting obviously for July 27th at the last Selectboard meeting. The next part of the process is to open schedule for an opening of the warrant, and then a schedule for the close of the warrant. During that time period, um
people can boards and committees as well as citizens present articles to my office, select board's office, for consideration at that town meeting. >> Okay. And with this there's also the schedule that I know you had to back into just so that we have the the dates available.
>> Mhm. >> Um everything seems to line up according to what I I saw. Were there any challenges that you >> No. >> I didn't find any. I think we're doing okay. It's tight, but it's doable. All right. So, our at our next meeting,

I know that you had mentioned at the last meeting that there might be um some additional vacation carryover requests. >> Yep. Uh those three requests are myself, Michael Ellis, and then Paul Nee. Uh we put their forms in the uh packet to see.
Um a lot of it, at least on Mike and myself's end, was we had a pretty busy spring, so we really didn't have structured time to take off, so we're just kind of carrying it over into the summer to use. And then Paul has been as he always kind of is in the spring, so um he's kind of the same way.
>> Okay. Any questions from the board? All right, then I'll entertain a motion uh that the select board grant the vacation carryover request as presented for Paul Nee, Michael Ellis, and Andrew
