SELECTMEN’S REPORTS/COMMENT
Sherburne Commons Update. Kevin Madron of Servant Healthcare noted it has been six months
since Servant’s take over of Sherburne Commons and he introduced representatives present from
Servant and Riverwood Management. Roald Rolfson, executive director of Sherburne Commons,
reviewed recent improvements made to the physical plant, as well as marketing, public relations,
and community relationships. Mr. Rolfson noted he is proudest of reestablishing programs which
were eliminated under the previous management, such as filling key management positions,
implementing an assisted living program, establishing a wellness clinic, and implementing activities
and a transportation program. Mr. Rolfson answered questions from the Board. Mr. Madron added
that they are working to stabilize the Sherburne Commons community, and said they would like to
have a more in-depth discussion with the Board at a later date regarding the Adult Community Day
Center (ACDC) program and Our Island Home. Chairman Roggeveen suggested one or two
members of the Board meet with Servant to start a discussion. Mr. Kopko noted that he is happy
with Servant’s progress to date and he feels there is no rush on the ACDC and Our Island Home
discussion. Chairman Roggeveen thanked the members of Servant, Riverwood Management, and
Sherburne Commons for their update.
Committee Reports. Mr. Kopko noted that at its public, educational, and governmental (PEG)
workshop earlier today, the Board voted to dissolve the Cable Television Advisory Committee
(CTAC), adding that once the PEG access channel is “off the ground” some form of CTAC may be
reestablished. Mr. Willauer reported on the Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board and the Shellfish
Management Plan.
The meeting was unanimously adjourned at 6:34 PM.
Approved the 12th day of January, 2011.
