During town manager's announcementsat the September 24 council meeting Mr. Clark called for a motion to requestthe state legislature to amend the laws passed relating to Southbridge TownCharter amendments to say that the election to ratify them could be held in2013 rather than 2012 as is currently required. That motion was made andunanimously adopted.These actions werereported in The O’Zone that evening in an article titled AnotherOpen Meeting Law Violation In Southbridge?.
As a result of theseactions, I filed an Open Meeting Law complaint on September 27, as detailed inthe post MyOpen Meeting Law Complaint.
That complaint read asfollows:
According to state law,the subject of such a complaint has ten business days to respond to thecomplainant.
Today marked the tenthbusiness day since the filing of the complaint.
Shortly after eight o’clockthis morning I received a call from town manager Clark. In the voicemailmessage he indicated that while he originally viewed the action of the councilas an “administrative matter”, upon reflection he agreed that it would beappropriate to schedule a vote on the matter.
As a result, the vote willbe scheduled to appear on the agenda for the October 15th towncouncil meeting.
I will be checking to seethat no legislation is filed prior to that vote being taken.
I will also be interestedto see if Representative Durant can get any action on such legislation with twoand a half months remaining in a legislative session dominated by the effortsof all incumbent senators and representatives seeking reelection.
