III.	Presentations/Discussions
1.	Tax Collector and Treasurer - Lemon said that according to her
notes from the April 2, 2008, Selectboard meeting, during which Terry
Kemerer was appointed Treasurer, while the Board did not vote this
explicitly at that time, on the advice of Town Counsel they believed the
appointment fell under this exemption but did not realize that formal
approval was necessary. This motion will correct that oversight.
Lemon MOVED that the Selectboard approve the exemption of Tax Collector
Terry Kemerer's interest from MGL 268A 20(h), which reads, in part,
'This section shall not prohibit an employee in a town having a
population of less than three thousand five hundred persons from holding
more than one appointed position with said town, provided that the Board
of Selectmen approves the exemption of his interest from this section.'.
Abbott SECONDED. VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
  
Arguimbau MOVED to revise the previous motion to say it shall be
retroactive as allowed by law. Lemon SECONDED. VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.

member will move which articles, and who will second those motions.
