Town Government at Work for the Week of August 6, 2018

By Meredith McCulloch

With summer beginning to wind down, and with last week’s Special Town Meeting adjourned sine die, Town boards are moving into a new phase of work.

The Selectmen and the Planning Board will hold a joint meeting on Monday, August 6 to interviews candidates who would serve on the Planning Board in a seat left vacant by the resignation of Tim Gray.  The appointee will serve until Town elections in March 2019 and may choose to run in that election for the remainder of that term.  Candidates are Bill Sayles and Mark Siegenthaler. Following that decision, the Planning Board will adjourn to the Planning Board office to complete their business.

The Selectmen will continue their agenda, which includes a review of a proposed public art project at South Road and Railroad Avenue, a Board of Health request to add MBTA Bus Stop shelters at three stops, and a Haiku temporary art project in celebration of the Minuteman Bikeway.

Other business will review the possibility of allowing remote participation in meetings. The recommended policy is modeled on one by the Town of Lincoln. The Selectmen will also review and approve the Separation Agreement between the Town and Town Manager Richard Reed.

On Tuesday, August 7 at 7:30 pm the Historic Preservation Commission will hear a request for a demolition delay for the property at 52 South Road. Status updates will be given on various projects and municipal properties.

The Conservation Commission has a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, August 8 at 7:30 pm.  On Thursday the Zoning Board of Appeals will hear a request for a variance at 9 Ashby Place and a continuation of a Special Permit hearing by at Carleton-Willard Village to add 12 more units that would house 24 residents.
