Bleary-eyed Edgartown highway superintendent Stuart Fuller appeared before Edgartown selectmen for an annual performance review at their meeting Tuesday. Mr. Fuller came directly from a long night and a long day plowing and sanding during the latest winter storm, and went directly back to the job after the short review.
“You picked a really good day to come in and have an annual review,” chairman Art Smadbeck said. “We all got here, so thank you for that.”
“I think we all appreciate everything,” selectman Margaret Serpa said. “It’s times like this that you really know what’s involved. Good job.”
“I’ll catch up on sleep in the spring,” Mr. Fuller said.
Mr. Smadbeck and Ms. Serpa voted to approve a positive review for Mr. Fuller. Selectman Michael Donaroma did not attend the meeting.
Also at Tuesday’s meeting, Diane Durawa reported to selectman about the work of the Dukes County Healthy Aging Task Force. Ms. Durawa is Edgartown’s representative to the task force.
Ms. Durawa said the task force is working on initial development of a comprehensive information and referral service for aging Vineyard residents. The task force wants to purchase the commercially available web-based system One Stop, which is designed to consolidate information and resources in one place. It also wants to fund a full-time position to manage the online service, as well as face-to-face interactions with residents. “It’s a way for seniors to sign into programs,” Ms. Durawa said. “It’s really supposed to improve access to programs. This is a big improvement.”
Selectmen took no action on the request.
