61-388 Selectmen's Meeting - July 26, 1999 Stop and Shop Construction Plans Mr. White reported that the Stop and Shop has an intensive construction schedule and he has invited Jim Silvia, Director of Real Estate to update the Board on their construction plans for the next few weeks. Mr. Silvia presented the Board with a renovation schedule and a sketch of the proposed new supermarket. They will be working 24 hours on site, day and evening, and are attempting to reach all impacted neighbors to offer them accommodations and/or cleaning to remove any dust in their houses. The work started this past weekend and Stop & Shop will monitor any complaints or concerns over the construction period. Mrs. Eddison and other Board members asked them to continue to be sensitive to the proximity of some of the neighbors and to be in ongoing communication with them. Stop & Shop rep. Ms. Kelly O'Connor provided the Board and public a hot line number for impacted neighbors and also a number to call for transportation to the Bedford store. Amend Traffic Rules & Regulations - Penalties Police Chief Chris Casey was present to ask the Board's approval on increasing penalties for violation of the Traffic Rules & Regulations from $20.00 to $35.00. This will be the first increase since 1967. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to increase the penalty for violation of the Traffic Rules & Orders Article 10, Section 3 Penalty from $20.00 to $35.00. Joint Meeting of Board of Selectmen & School Committee Mr. Enrich reviewed an ambitious agenda for the joint meeting of the Board and School Committee and members of the finance committees tomorrow morning at 8:15 at the Museum of Our National Heritage. Hanscom Mrs. Krieger reviewed the status of the Shuttle America situation. Massport Board of Directors voted to grant an operating permit to Shuttle America at its meeting on July 15. This move is contrary to assurances from Peter Blute and the public process for review and public input through HFAC. By law, HFAC would review any proposals in increase of operations at Hanscom. Massport has ruined its credibility with the communities in granting the permit and has blatantly abused its authority. The four towns are prepared to take action and are considering legal action.
