61-337 Selectmen's Meeting Minutes March 22, 1999 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, March 22, 1999 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 6:45 p.m. Chairman Enrich, Mrs. Eddison, Mrs. Krieger, Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. McKenna, Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel, Mr.White, Town Manager and Ms. Pease, Assistant to the Executive Clerk were present. Public Comment David Kanter, Precinct 7, wanted to go on record with the Selectmen that he strenuously objects to where Article 16 appears. He feels strongly that it should at least appear before Article 30 not after. Mr. Enrich explained that back when the articles were put together for the warrant we put the non-financial articles together and the financial articles together. When the Board reviewed the articles, Mrs. Krieger, on behalf of the Hennessy Field Committee, indicated that no one had any objections to the articles being apart, but it was important to the Committee that the Board understand that their two recommendations that appear in the warrant were integrally connected to each other and that the willingness of that committee to agree that Hennessy Field could safely be turned over to conservation use was part and parcel of the agreement that there needed to be an additional soccer field put on-line currently at Harrington School. In recognition of that, Mrs. Krieger requested that there be an understanding that Article 16 be taken up only after Article 30. A majority of the Board agreed to that and that is the way we will be proceeding. Mrs. Krieger says there will be an opportunity to discuss Article 16 when the motion is made at Town Meeting. Mr. Kanter said he spoke to Steve Colman and Debra Brown from the Committee and got a different impression from them and, therefore, will challenge that at Town Meeting.
