NORTH SMITHFIELD – A series of appointments to town boards and commissions is renewing the debate about transparency and whether town government is accessible to the majority of residents.
On Jan. 19, members of the Town Council and Town Administrator Paul Zwolenski announced their appointments to a dozen boards and committees during a meeting in town hall. The appointments ranged from little-known advisory boards to groups that have significant influence in town affairs, such as the Planning Board and Budget Commission.
Most of the appointments passed with little discussion, with only one person, Planning Board member Jeffrey Porter, taking the opportunity to come forward during the public comment portion of the meeting and make his case for reappointment.
NORTH SMITHFIELD – Town councilors last week said they plan to appoint a nine-member committee to oversee both short- and long-term projects at the former Halliwell Elementary School on Victory Highway.
Newly elected Councilor Stephen Corriveau brought up the request during a meeting on Jan. 5. Corriveau asked Town Solicitor David Igliozzi to draft a resolution for a committee made up of nine members, including one member of the Town Council and one member of the Planning Board.
“I think it’s important that we create a resolution to have a committee for the Halliwell project. I think that a lot of town residents are open to that,” he said.
