Granby Town Clerk Scott Nolan is always looking for ways to make things more efficient and, in the process, usually easier. He recently brought a proposal to the board of selectmen regarding a way to streamline recording land records.
This summer, Rosemarie Weber stepped down from the Granby Board of Education. Weber, an attorney and military veteran, served the BOE for 12 years. In that time, she served in every position: chair, vice chair and secretary. In addition, she served and chaired both the finance and curriculum subcommittees, led the negotiations for several collective bargaining agreements, helped establish full-day kindergarten and one-to-one computing, among many other accomplishments.
To create more specific autonomous areas of control and enhance daily communication, Town Manager Mike Walsh recently announced a reorganization of the Public Works Department. Existing employees were interviewed and subsequently promoted to supervisory positions. The new positions will also provide more training and promotional opportunities.
Senator Lisa Seminara of Avon, Senator John Kissel of Enfield and Representative Mark Anderson of Granby appeared in the town hall meeting room on June 26 to report on some of the proposals passed in the recently concluded State of Connecticut legislative session.
The focus of the Social Services Department is to coordinate existing federal, state, regional and local services, to increase community awareness of these services and to develop new programs to meet the needs of Granby residents.
