Selectmen to Discuss Contracts, Johnson Farm at Tuesday Meeting

Tuesday's meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. inside the Flynn Building.

The Sudbury Board of Selectmen gets back to work on Tuesday night, with a meeting starting at 6:30 p.m. inside the Flynn Building.

Before the bulk of the meeting even gets underway, there are a pair of important agenda items.

Selectmen will interview Christine Nihan, who is a candidate for Town Accountant, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Then at 6:45 p.m., board members will vote to go into Executive Session in order to conduct a pair of contract negotiations. Those negotiations will be done with Town Manager Maureen Valente and Town Counsel Paul Kenny.

At the end of the agenda are potential action items that would allow selectmen to ratify the terms of Valente's contract for July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2017, and ratify Kenney's potential contract for the same time period if deals are reached in Executive Session.

Board members will also have the opportunity to vote to appoint Nihan to Town Accountant effective May 19, and also appoint Assistant Town Accountant Robin Porcella to the Acting Town Accountant until May 18.

Once members are out of Executive Session, a 7:45 p.m. agenda item is set to read a statement from the Board of Selectmen on the Johnson Farm 40B litigation, and the possibility of voting to sign a letter to the Department of Environmental Protection.

At 8:20 p.m., board members will meet with Permanent Building Committee chairman Mike Melnik, Facilities Director Jim Kelly and Police Chief Scott Nix for an update on the proposed Police Station.
