CURRENT BUSINESS:  
 Vote on Council on Aging Board Member Vacancy Recommendation to the Board of 
Selectmen: Mr. Lincoln informed the board that as long as he’s been on it, there’s never been more 
than one applicant for one open seat on the Council on Aging. Mr. Lincoln expressed his opinion that 
going before the Board of Selectmen during a televised meeting to be interviewed, and then voted on is 
a very awkward situation. Mr. Lincoln explained that the Council on Aging is a board appointed by the 
Selectmen, but the COA should still give their recommendation. Mr. Lincoln said he checked at Town 
Hall for Talent Bank forms on July 15, 2018, and no forms had been received, but he didn’t realize the 
deadline was actually July 31, 2018, and two Talent Bank forms were submitted for the seat left vacant 
by Brian Guenard. However, one of the applicants, David Dorren, withdrew his application due to 
unforeseen circumstances.  
Mr. Lincoln moved to recommend Barbara Brown be appointed to the Council on Aging for a 
three year term beginning in September of 2018, Ms. DiGiacomo seconded. On vote, motion carried 
unanimously.
