Changing the name of a subcommittee and adding lighting under Interstate 391 are some of several issues before the Board of Aldermen this week.
Human resources is a better name in light of the state now using the name human resources.
The aldermen agreed with the favorable recommendation June 20 of the Personnel Committee for the appointment of Richard Allen Merchant as the city's first human resources director. The alderman will review a request from Moreau and Alderman at large James K. Tillotson to improve the lighting in a parking area in the viaduct under Interstate 391. This has been going back and forth. We were told it was the city's responsibility, and we thought it was the state's. Wagner's office that it is Chicopee's area.
