Mr. DelVecchio stated that he is happy at this point to wait until a new Town Manager is hired. Mr. Schoonveld agreed that having a new Town Manager was a good idea.

Mr. DelVecchio stated that the Board may be over Meeting Minutes Board of Selectmen December 11, 2017 Page 5 thinking this and that it has been a scramble to get the signatures. Mr. Schoonveld asked if it made sense to list areas where it makes sense like ribbon cutting and retirements where there would be very little chance of opposition.

Discussion and Consideration of Classifying All Members of the Mansfield Housing Corporation as "Special Municipal Employees" Ms. Connie Baynes asked for this agenda item to be tabled for a later meeting.

MBTA Construction/Parking Mr. Stanbrook stated that last Tuesday he went to Boston as a follow up discussion with the MBTA to work on a new agreement.

He stated that the residents do not get to see the questions being asked at the Town Manager interviews. Mr. Eagle hopes that the Board explores the candidates' commitment to Mansfield and stated that he would like them to be a lifer and not someone who sees Mansfield as a stepping stone.
