Is Selectmen's Meeting -3- June 25, 1990 CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION Mr. Eddison referred to the Board's practice of thanking citizen volunteers for their service to the Town as members of boards, committees and commissions. He felt that the usual letters of appreciation are not an adequate expression of appreciation for the contributions of time and talents by these volunteers and proposed that, upon retirement or resignation, each outgoing member be given a Certificate of Appreciation, signed by Board Members. He also proposed that each year, two outstanding volunteers would be selected for enrollment on a Distinguished Service Scroll, which would be on permanent display in the Town offices, and be presented with a certificate in recognition of their exceptional contributions. These recipients would be selected by the Selectmen with the assistance of an advisory committee consisting of one Selectmen, the Town Moderator and the Town Manager. Draft designs of the Certificate and Scroll, prepared by Elaine Adler, had been distributed. Mr. Eddison asked for the Board's comments/suggestions /reactions to the proposal. All Board members generally approved of the Certificate of Appreciation for retiring committee members but saw possible pitfalls or difficulties involved in the selection of only one or two people per year for the Distinguished Service Scroll award. Mr. Dailey suggested that the Chairmen of the School Committee and TMMA serve on the selection committee rather than the Town Manager and a Selectman. Mr. Eddison pointed out that the School Committee already honors deserving teachers each year. This award would be primarily aimed at volunteer workers for the Town. He noted that the TMMA is not aware of work which has been done and that the Selectmen are close to what goes on. It was agreed that more time should be given to work out the details on the Distinguished Service award. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to endorse Mr. Edison's proposal for Certificates of Honor for retiring or resigning citizen volunteers who have served at least one year on a Town board, committee or f commission. CONSENT AGENDA ABATEMENTS Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the abatement of Water Charges, $14,097.79 and Sewer Charges, $15,477.78.
