These were in support of the Chief regarding the matter of assigning detail to Permanent Intermittent Officer Larry Ainslie. The Chairman then read letters in support of the Chief from Mary Hagerty , 355 Atlantic Ave. , Robert Gibbons , 147 Border St. , Fred Wood, Petersen Realtors , Charlotte Glasfeld, 35 Rust Way, and A.J . Antoine, 17 Elm Court. Also he read a letter from Joseph McLean which analyzed the Town Counsel ' s opinion of the Ainslie issue. (All of the above correspondence is on file in the Selectmen' s Office) Chairman Ainslie then asked for any comments on the above letters. There were no comments and he then stated that he would eventually come out with a complete summary of the facts of the case but most important, was to work out the differ- ences with the Chief and he was confident he could do it. Selectman McArthur asked if the letter to the Chief was a personal letter from Selectman Ainslie to the Chief. Mr. Ainslie said yes , he was going to invite the Chief to come in next week and set up a meeting and at the same time he will put specific questions to the Chief about where Chairman Ainslie has or has not interferred with the operation of the department. Mr. Ainslie said he would not read the letter before the Chief had received it. He then said everything had been distorted by the papers and there was nothing to be gained by discussing it. Selectman McArthur then suggested, since it was a personal letter to the Chief, that it be sent on plain stationery rather than Selectmen ' s stationery. She said the letter did not represent her feelings. The Chairman said, whichever way it was sent, his plan is to ask the Chief to show how the Chairman has interferred, and he said again the letter will not be 191 2 MEETING OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN HELD ON JUNE 16, 1982 (continued) released tonight until the Chief has read it first. Chairman Ainslie said as far as interferring with appointments, that is the duty and authority of the Selectmen but as far as interferring with the operation of the department, he never initiated phone calls to the Chief or instructed any of his men, etc. He stated that our vote was to tell him we expect him to follow the Civil Service laws and follow the rules of fair employment. Selectman McArthur stated that she felt that the Chief is more qualified to judge who is qualified to serve on the Cohasset Police Department, and she felt the Board has not fully explored or dealt with the background information available of the results of the psychological evaluation and how both the background and the psychological dovetail . . ."and they do dovetail". She felt there was more than one issue to focus on. Number one was the ability of the Chief to judge candidates and make decisions on their suitability to serve,and number two was the Board' s willingnesss to establish guidelines for the appointment of Permanent Intermittents including an evaluation of the facts presented in background investigations and psychological evaluations. Selectman McArthur went on to explain that it was obvious that this Board does not understand the purpose of the psychological evaluation and there was no such thing as passing or failing a psychological evaluation. Chairman Ainslie said he did not make such a statement. He said that the statement in all the exams said that the candidates were deemed to be suitable for police work. Mrs. McArthur repeated that one does not pass or fail a psychological evaluation. She said that a psychological evaluation was nothing more than an instrument to point out to Mr. Ainslie the type of person that he is dealing with, and said that is all that it was. Selectmen McArthur continued by saying she also thought we should focus on the role of Selectmen and the role of Chief in terms of the administration of the department. She said that goals have got to be established and priorities must be set and we should be discussing that next week. She said that a legal opinion has been rendered by Town Counsel and that the officer in question must be used along with other Permanent Intermittents for work detail . She said that at the Town Meeting in 1977, it was assured that the Chief, when no longer under Civil Service, should be allowed to run his department without interference. She said, to clear the air, we must follow whatever procedure is required by Civil Service to review this case. Chairman Ainslie then reviewed the procedure as follows : the first step was to get the charges , then the Board of Selectmen will hear the charges and will then make a decision based on the facts. If the Board discharges the Jofficer in question , he has the right to appeal to Civil Service for a full Civil Service hearing. 3 REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN HELD ON JUNE 16, 1982 (continued) Selectman Laugelle then asked if anyone had any charges on Officer Ainslie's credibility and if there were any, we could hold a hearing on them. There was no reply. Selectman McArthur explained that she had given her thoughts and thinks now that we should pursue. Chairman Ainslie said if he were a judge or a member of the Civil Service Commission and read a report from the Chief which said the candidate is qualified for police work, then that i� all it would take. Then Mr. Ainslie said he would release a letter or report stating the facts later. He said we will be getting together with the Chief and the issues will be based on the record and knowledge of Civil Service laws. The citizens present were invited to ask ,questions and contribute to the discussion. Chairman Ainslie pointed out that Officer Ainslie was used at least a dozen times before, including in an armed stake-out at Hugo's. Selectman McArthur then replied that that was before the psychological evaluation. The Chairman then asked if there were further questions and after allowing one more, said we would go on with the rest of our agenda. 4 MEETING OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN HELD ON JUNE 16, 1982 (continued) Voted: To accept the bid from Farrar Company Inc. , Woodville, Mass. for a Forest Fire Truck for the sum of $20, 985. and as specifications .

There being no bids received, the meeting was recessed until 8:00 p.m. Thursday, June 24, 1982 in the Town Hall Auditorium. RECESSED SESSION OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN'S MEETING HELD ON JUNE 24 , 1982 There were no minutes to approve. 8:00 p.m. Chief DeBassio and Officer Robert Jackson were present. The Chairman addressed Chief DeBassio first asking him, in regards to his correspondence of June 7, what did he want the Selectmen to do that they were not doing now (his letter of June 7 asked for a clearly defined mandate) . The Chief replied that he wanted the Selectmen to define the selection process , the recruitment process and the priorities of the department. He said we have a disagreement and he would like these defined. Chairman Ainslie then asked the Chief if he agreed that the basis for the selecting process is the Civil Service law. ® The Chief replied that that was not entirely so. The Town retains a great deal of discretion in terms of who they appoint to permanent intermittent office and they still reserve the right to define from the permanent intermittent list, those officers who are going to be appointed to permanent positions. That process has bearing on Civil Service but is not controlled by Civil Service. Selectman Laugelle said we are not speaking of permanent officers and that was down the road. The Chief said the auxiliaries are used as the basis for permanent intermittent positions and the permanent intermittent officers are used as the basis for the selection and appointment of permanents. Selectmen Laugelle said it does not mean permanent intermittents have to be permanents, and they still have to take exams. Town Counsel , J. Blake Thaxter,was present and said a hearing would have to be held to remove a permanent intermittent officer and charges would have to be brought against him. The Chief said he wanted to clarify that treatment for permanent intermittent , under Civil Service, is the same as for a permanent and that an officer can be removed for just cause, The process , he said , is the same. Selectman Laugelle asked if there was a just cause. The Chief replied that he would refer the causesto executive session. 2oH 2 RECESSED SESSION OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN'S MEETING HELD ON JUNE 24, 1982 (continued) Town Counsel read Chapter 31 , Sec. 41 outlining the Civil Service procedure which said that the appointing authority hears the case (in this case it is the Selectmen) . Then if the permanent intermittent does not agree with the finding , he applies for a Civil Service hearing and next to the District Court. Chairman Ainslie explained that he was just asking now what the Chief wants. Town Counsel said that now was the appropriate time to make public the letter he was asked to present. Chairman Ainslie read the letter from Town Counsel to the Board, .which stated that -his opinion still was the same even after the wording of the vote,given in the approved minutes of the June 2nd meeting,was brought to his attention, The Chief said he would reserve comment for executive session. Chairman Ainslie then referred to the matter of Officer Jackson and asked the Chief if he had any further information. © The Chief replied that he had Officer Jackson' s personnel file here and all information pertinent to his career. Mr. Ainslie said he wanted to go beyond that perhaps in executive session. It was moved by Selectman McArthur, seconded by Selectman Laugelle, and VOTED at 8:30 p.m. to go into executive session to discuss personalities in regard to the appointment of a sergeant. Present were Officer Jackson, Chief DeBassio and Town Counsel , J. Blake Thaxter, Jr. and Selectmen. At 8:50 p.m. it was moved by Selectman McArthur, seconded by Chairman Ainslie and VOTED to return to open session. Attorney Mark Fitzsimmons , 255 North Main Street , Weymouth, counsel for Officer Larry Ainslie, was present. Also present were Officer Ainslie. Chief DeBassio, and Town Counsel , J. Blake Thaxter, Jr. The motion to go into executive session to dicuss personalities in regard to the permanent intermittent detail matter, was challenged by Mr. Robert Sturdy, who was present among several other citizens. It was VOTED at 8:55 p.m. to go into executive session. At 10:00 p.m. it was VOTED to return to open session. Chairman Ainslie announced that the Chief would bring charges against Permanent Intermittent Officer Ainslie for appropriate action from the appointing authority, and he (Chairman Ainslie) would disqualify himself from the proceedings. He said that after the charges are in , it would be decided if there should be a hearing. Mr. Raymond Remick, 61 Joy Place, asked, if the Selectmen say there would be no hearing, will that mean definitely there would be no hearing held and if the Chief brings charges, would that be the end of it. The answer was that legally the Board can turn down a hearing. '7 c? 3 RECESSED SESSION OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN'S MEETING HELD ON JUNE 24, 1982 (continued) Chairman Ainslie announced that if there was no further conversation we would go on to the next item. He read a notice which he said would be delivered the next morning to Officer John Rhodes. The notice said there would be a hearing for the purpose of acting on charges brou4,t against Officer Rhodes by Chief DeBassio. It was moved by Selectman McArthur, seconded by Selectman Laugelle and VOTED to hold a hearing at 8:00 p.m. on July 8 on charges against Officer Rhodes by Chief DeBassio, of contributing to the waywardness of a child in violation of MGL's Chapter 119, Sec. 63 and neglect of duty during that time, and to so notify him. It was also unanimously VOTED to continue the suspension of Officer Rhodes with pay (to start at the termination of the 5 day suspension without pay, ordered by Chief DeBassio) until a hearing of the charges, and to so notify him.
