Near the end of a meeting Monday night, the council agrees to interview town manager candidates in private the next two Saturdays.
NARRAGANSETT – By a 4-1 vote and after 40 minutes of debate on Monday night, the Narragansett Town Council agreed to interview candidates in a private executive session for its open town manager position on Saturday, Jan. 12, and if needed, Jan. 19.

In a 4-0 vote Monday night, the town council approved a plan from the Parks and Recreation Department to offer an alternate option for the displaced cabana owners. The owners of lower cabana units from 31A to 42B would be allowed to “renew” their plan at the cost of $500 this year, down from $1,750. However, the cabanas are not expected to be ready.

Callaghan disappointed on Monday night--first time he had to vote on open government and he voted with those who like behind closed door sort of govt. Kudos to Mannix...why did Susan cave? more ›
