"The First Selectman shall
be an ex-officio member of all agencies of the Town but without power
to
vote."
Also from the same section
of the Charter...
"The First Selectman shall
be responsible for directing relationships with State, Regional, and
Federal agencies which will or are likely to have an effect on the
Town."
(Charter of the Town of Weston, Article 4, Section 4.1).
The office of the First Selectman
is in Town Hall (pictured below).

Board of Selectmen's AGENDA...
DID YOU KNOW THAT...SOME
SPECIAL MEETINGS are held with just 24-hour notice posted in the Town
Clerk's
Office in Town Hall? Boards and Commissions register their "regular
meeting
dates" with the Secretary of the State in Hartford at the beginning of
the calendar year...any meeting not on that list is a "Special
Meeting."
Something else to know:
no action can be taken while in executive session.
In order to vote on any matter, the fact that there may be a vote taken
should appear in the notice.

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
(from the F.O.I. WEBsite, short version)...
I. AN AGENCY MAY CLOSE CERTAIN
PORTIONS OF ITS MEETINGS BY A VOTE OF 2/3 OF THE MEMBERS PRESENT AND
VOTING.
THIS VOTE MUST BE CONDUCTED AT A PUBLIC SESSION
.
Meetings to discuss the following
matters may be closed: specific employees (unless the employee
concerned
requests that the discussions be open to the public); strategy and
negotiations
regarding pending claims and litigation; security matters; real estate
acquisition (if openness might increase price); or any matter that
would
result in the disclosure of a
public record exempted from the
disclosure
requirements for public records.
Any business or discussion
in
a closed session must be limited to the above areas.
The agency may invite persons
to present testimony or opinion in the executive session, but their
attendance
must be limited to only the time necessary for that testimony or
opinion.
The public has a right
to know... FREEDOM

2. Are the school facilities
currently involved in construction and expansion projects?
A project is underway to upgrade the high school
auditorium, and the old section of the high school roof not included in

about completed. A bond issue received
approval from the voters Nov. 15, 2001, and there was a school
expansion project which took
place over the ensuing years. Included in this project was a new

construction of fields, all now open. Plan presented
