Daniel Gura, inset, makes a point about the position announcement under consideration of Williamstown s Town Manager Search Advisory Committee on Tuesday. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. The Town Manager Search Advisory Committee on Tuesday hashed out the specifics of a position announcement and a community survey that will help inform the work of the committee and the Select Board, which ultimately will hire the next occupant of the corner office at town hall. The search committee, which includes two members of the five-person Select Board, reviewed a draft job posting and draft survey questions compiled by GovHR, the head-hunting firm employed by the Select Board to guide the search process.
Moving on to our next search, that committee will be subject to the Open Meeting Law, Hugh Daley said. There will be minutes. There will be portions that will have to go into executive session, like when we consider resumes. Preliminary screening committees, like the search committee, are permitted to go into executive session if the chair declares that an open meeting will have a detrimental effect in obtaining qualified applicants, according to the Open Meeting Law. The entire process of the Interim Police Chief Advisory Committee was exempt from the OML because it was serving as an advisory committee to an authority (in this case, the town manager) who could have made the decision at his or her sole discretion.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. The board of the town s Affordable Housing Trust on Wednesday decided to move ahead with an emergency mortgage assistance program for residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, approved a solution for a problem vexing a different town committee and learned that one of its members will be rotating off after May s town election. The board member in question is Anne O Connor, who made her colleagues on that panel the first to learn that she will not seek another three-year term on the Select Board this spring. O Connor, who occupies the trustee position designated for a member of the Select Board, noted that she brings a particular perspective to her work with the trust and all her town service: that of a resident who is a lifelong renter and who lives in Williamstown housing that was created to be affordable.
