Adams Fire District Holds Special Meeting Thursday

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Voters in the Fire District will decide on six articles for a special district meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m. in the firehouse. 
 
The warrant includes two articles that have proved to be controversial during previous meetings and were shot down in the past. Warrant here
 
Article 1 requests that voters authorize changing the clerk and treasurer positions from elected to appointed. 
 
The Prudential Committee is putting forth this question again because the state Department of Revenue recommends appointing key financial positions to ensure they are qualified, and it is hard to put training requirements on elected officials. 
 
Currently, district voters elect officials every three years, though candidates aren't required to have specific experience or knowledge about governmental operations. 
 
Appointed officials would be selected based on expertise, require a medical exam and drug and criminal background check, and report directly to the Prudential Committee. 
 
This proposal failed during previous meetings, including being narrowly shot down 81-85 on the May 2025 election ballot, along with companion questions for appointing the assistant engineers.
