Qualifications for Bristol Public Works Head Approved Amid Debate
The Bristol charter commission approved six to one the qualifications for the town public works head. James T. Pierce abstained while Frank Tio and Roger W. Pigeon opposed. The appointee must be a registered professional engineer, with civil engineering credentials or two years as a municipal engineer. The two year term sparked debate on experience and term length, with Pigeon and Canario urging civil engineer and longer tenure. Judge Accardi defended two years as sufficient for continuity.
