Following a delay in the start of the Workshop Meeting to await
the arrival of Commissioner Chambers, Mayor Joseph A. Boulay
called the Workshop Meeting to order in the Commission Chambers at
Town Hall at 1:38 P.M. Vice Mayor Bill Paul was in attendance.
Also present were Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney, Town Manager
Mary Ann Mariano, Town Clerk Anne M. Kowals and members of the
general public.
The Town Clerk, calling the roll, noted that Commissioner Waldman
had advised on Monday {February 25, 1991) that he was confined
with the flu and would be unable to attend this Workshop Meeting.
Apologizing to the residents who have taken the time to come to
this scheduled Town Commission Workshop Meeting, the Mayor noted
that the Commission would be unable to conduct business as usual
inasmuch as there is no quorum. Mayor Boulay acknowledged receipt
of Commissioner Betty Jean Stewart's letter of resignation {a copy
of which is attached to and 'ade a part of these Minutes) effec-
tive upon receipt (02/19/91); per the Commissioner's request, the
Town Manager read same into the Minutes of this Town Commission
Meeting.
Also acknowledged, was receipt of a letter of resignation from
Commissioner Marvin A. Waldman advising his resignation will be
effective as of March 01, 1991.
When the Mayor, noting the lack of a quorum does not allow the
Commission to conduct any business at this meeting, stated he
would allow public comments providing they were non-political, Mr.
Jose Echeverria of Russell Drive commented that he did not think
the Commission should entertain any comments from anyone at this
time. The Mayor stated he is trying to accommodate the residents
in attendance.
Mayor Boulay, noting he is distressed at the way things are
working out, apologized for the Town Commission and noted he is
hopeful this will not happen in the future.
At this point, the Deputy Town Clerk delivered a FAX, to the Town
Clerk, from Commissioner Chambers advising he would not be in
attendance at this Workshop Meeting.
Mr. John Rand of Intracoastal Drive questioned if Commissioner
Chambers will attend the scheduled March 05, 1991 Regular Town
Commission Meeting as residents do not want to come to Town Hall
for no reason at all. No one could answer Mr. Rand's query.
