- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting of the Reading Municipal Light Department Board, changes in leadership and a discussion on policy adherence took center stage. Dave Talbot was appointed as the new chair of the board, with Philip Pacino serving as vice chair. This decision sparked a review of the policy regarding board leadership positions during election years. Furthermore, the meeting addressed the appointment of board members to the Audit Committee and the sub-audit committee, with discussions on the responsibilities and communication protocols of these entities.
The appointment of the new chair, Dave Talbot, bypassed a standing policy that prevented members up for election from serving as chair. This led to an in-depth conversation on whether to amend the policy or maintain it but appoint new leadership in December, closer to the election. The board tentatively agreed to address the policy at future meetings.
Philip Pacino was appointed to the Audit Committee, while two other members, Pam Daskalakis and Ray Porter, were nominated to join him on the sub-audit committee. The discussion here revolved around the roles and processes of both committees, emphasizing the importance of communication between the sub-committee members and the primary audit committee.
