Selectmen’s Meeting July 10, 2006 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, July 10, 2006, at 7:30 p.m. in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room. Chairman Krieger, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Pagett, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Manz; Mr. Valente, Town Manager; and Ms. Pease, Executive Clerk were present. Public Comment After reading a letter received anonymously, Mrs. Krieger responded that the Selectmen have made themselves much more available by each having office hours and following up on citizen’s requests and also that the office is open until 4:30 every day. Selectmen Concerns and Liaison Reports Many citizens have spoken to Mr. Cohen regarding the state of the roads and when they will be repaired. He requested that somehow the citizens be informed. The Selectmen decided that if e-mail is sent to all Selectmen and it needs to be responded to, that the Chairman will assign and delegate the task to a particular Selectman depending upon the subject. Mr. Manz also asked about when the roads affected by the Keyspan incident will be fixed and how best to let the citizens know what will be fixed and when. Mr. Valente reported that information will be in the news and on the Town web page soon and that the Town is requesting that Keyspan provide payment for what they are responsible for repairing. The Town Manager will get back to the Selectmen with information on what roads will be repaired and in what order the work will be done and if the work can be completed before winter. Town Manager Report Mr. Valente informed the Board that Keyspan would be replacing a gas main along Massachusetts Avenue between Cary Hall and Muzzey Street in the near future. The work will be done between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Hearing – Flammable Storage License – Avalon Garage Michael Roberts, AvalonBay Communities, Inc., came before the Selectmen requesting approval of a Flammable Storage License for vehicles that will be in the garages at Met State. Fire Chief Middlemiss has reviewed the plans and confirmed that they comply with the regulations.
