Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Appearing in the 2011 Annual Town Meeting Warrant will be Article 16:
ARTICLE 16. To see if the Town will authorize the Board of Selectmen to
petition the Great and General Court of the Commonwealth to enact special
legislation that would exempt the position of Deputy Fire Chief from the
provisions of the Civil Service Law and Rules, or take any other action
relative thereto.
After the positive recommendation of Civil Service by the Civil Service
Study Committee and unanimous support at the 2004 Annual Town Meeting, Civil
Service was enacted for the Town of Hanover Fire Department in 2004. Seven
years later, Article 16 of the 2011 Annual Town Meeting proposes to remove
the Deputy Fire Chief position from the provisions of Civil Service. On
Thursday, April 14, at approximately 7:45 p.m., the Board of Selectmen will
allow those with questions and concerns about this issue to be heard. The
public is encouraged to attend the meeting that will be held in the large
hearing room of Town Hall.
