The Town Council of Foster, Rhode Island, convened on December 5, 2024, to address several key administrative matters, including the appointment of constables and the scheduling of future meetings.

During the meeting, a motion was made and unanimously approved to appoint eight individuals as constables. The newly appointed constables are Stephen Plouffe, Christopher Stone, Heidi Rogers, Catherine Bay, James Barentine, Gordon Brayton, William Paul, and Paul Kniff. It was noted that these individuals do not need to be sworn in immediately, as they can complete this process at their convenience with the town clerk.

The council also discussed upcoming meeting dates. The next scheduled council meeting is set for December 12, 2024. However, the council voted to cancel the meeting originally planned for December 26, 2024, as it falls the day after Christmas. Regular council meetings will continue to be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, with the financial town meeting also included in the calendar.

Additionally, the council addressed the appointment of liaisons to various town departments, including the Department of Public Works (DPW) and social services. The discussion highlighted the importance of these roles in facilitating communication and coordination within town operations.

Overall, the meeting focused on essential administrative functions that will help streamline town governance and ensure effective management of local services.
