In December 2009 we saw a re-enactment of the first town meeting when individuals were appointed to various voluntary positions. These people were not skilled in any fashion, but respected enough in the community and able to fulfill their duties and responsibilities. Our town has grown from those FederalistEradays andbusinesscanno longerbe conductedinthesame fashion. The residents desired a government that is responsive, accountable, and professional. So, there we were, with the gavel handed over to a new beginning, a bright start, and a different way of conductingbusinessfortheTownofRandolph. On January 4, the new erawas ushered in. With lights shining bright on majestic Stetson Hall, the inauguration oftheTown Council, School Committee, and StetsonTrustees was attended by over 350 residents and guests. It was truly a magnificent ceremony which captivated the audience, as they sawhistory inthe making. So, withthe pomp and circumstanceover, the real workthenbegan. The establishment of Rules and Regulations for the council to govern itself has led to the formationoffivecommitteesconsistingof: FinanceCommittee, comprisedofall9membersoftheTownCouncil OrdinanceCommittee, comprisedofall9membersoftheTownCouncil Public SafetyCommittee, comprisedof3 membersoftheTownCouncil EconomicDevelopment/Real EstateCommittee, comprisedof3 members oftheTownCouncil Human ServicesCommitteecomprisedof3 membersoftheTownCouncil. Meetings were scheduled for 7pm on the second and fourth Monday ofevery month in Chapin Hall. Alltogether,theCouncilmetfor26meetingsduringthe2010Calendaryear. The duties and responsibilities of the Town Council are the Legislative branch of the town government, similar to that of the former town meeting. The Town Council dealt with all financial and ordinance issues in the Town. Sixty-four orders were submitted to the council in 2010. Someofthehighlightswouldinclude: 1. OpposedtheHolbrooktransferstationproject 2. Establishedjunk, unregistered, abandonedvehicleordinance. 3. Votedtoacceptprovisions foradditional hotel/roomtax. 4. Opposedthe increase in mealstax. 5.

Throughouttheyear, the Council approved various permits such as livery, 24 hour operations, used car sales (Class II), common victualler's, change of managers, and various other licenses. The Council also deniedawirelesscommunicationsfacilityattheformerZeppy'sbagel location. The council formed a fine working relationship with the town manager to work together in a cohesive and productive manner forthe overall efficient operation ofthe town. This leadto an improvement in the quality of life issues for the residents. In a downward economy and continuedstateaidcuts, wewere abletofostereconomicstabilityandmaintainpublicsafetyand constituent services. The regionalizingofthe Veteran'sAgentwiththeTownofMilton proved to be a cost cutting measure while continuing to provide the same level of services to the veterans. The council welcomed Andrea Bonn as the new Clerk ofthe Council. We bade farewell to School Superintendant Richard Silverman andthank him forhis years ofservice to our students and then welcomed Oscar Santos as the new Superintendant. The retirement of Police Chief Paul Porterafter34years inthedepartmentallowedforthepromotionofDetectiveWilliam Pace to the office ofChiefofPolice. Retirement status was also reached by James Campbell, from the position ofVeteran'sAgentandwelcomednewVeteran's agent, Michael Cunningham.
