The Marion Finance Committee met remotely on Wednesday, September 24 via Microsoft Teams for a review of the applications submitted by G.R. Pitman and Mal Durkee to serve as alternate members. This would be followed by reorganization and appointments to committee positions.
The meeting began with a unanimous vote in favor of approving the two applicants. This vote appoints Pitman and Durkee as the two alternates for the committee. “We have a full committee, that’s fantastic,” said Sean Healy, acting as chair of the meeting with Shay Assad’s absence.
For appointments, Healy asked if the appointment of a committee officer should take place at this meeting. Donna Hemphill, the executive assistant to the Select Board, recommended this decision be tabled until the chair (Assad) and other committee members were present, making it a full-committee decision. Hemphill added which positions need to be decided, those being a chair, vice chair, and clerk, the latter of which is responsible for recording meeting minutes.
With the two agenda items taken care of, the committee discussed when said appointments would take place. Hemphill and the committee agreed to meet remotely at 4:30 pm on Wednesday, October 1 for the Finance Committee Appointing Committee via Microsoft Teams.
The next regular meeting of the Marion Finance Committee is tentatively scheduled to take place Wednesday, October 15.
