Board authorizes MOA on security cameras but keeps signature contingent on union sign-off
The board reviewed an MOA negotiated with the laborers' union about security-camera policies at town facilities. The supervisor said attorneys for the town and for the union had exchanged drafts over several months and that a corrected MOA was in the meeting folders. He urged the board to approve the MOA but emphasized the approval would be contingent on the union's signature.

The supervisor told the board, "I won't sign it until the union signs it," and the board voted to authorize the supervisor to sign the MOA subject to union agreement. The supervisor described the union as having delayed its signed return several times and said the town's attorney considered the current version acceptable, but the supervisor would only finalize it once the union formally signs.

No disciplinary or surveillance procedures were discussed publicly in detail; the board limited review of the MOA in open session and deferred any final signature until the union's sign-off. The board's authorization preserves the town's option to execute the agreement promptly once the union returns a signed copy.
