<br />Selectmen’s Meeting <br />January 5, 2004 <br /> <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday January 5, 2004 in the <br />Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. Chairman McSweeney, Mrs. Krieger, Mrs. McKenna, <br />Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Kelley, Mr. White, Town Manager, Mr. Lahey, Town Counsel, and Ms. Tap, <br />Recording Secretary, were present. <br /> <br />Public Comment <br /> <br />Mr. McSweeney announced the retirement party for those who took the Early Retirement <br />Incentive. It will be held on Wednesday, January 28, from 4-6 p.m. at the National Heritage <br />Museum. <br /> <br />Mr. Byron Blanchard, Round Hill Road, who previously spoke at a meeting of the Board about <br />his problems getting his street plowed, asked to know the process for an administrative appeal. <br />He also asked to have access to town records on the plowing of unaccepted streets. <br /> <br />Mr. Hadley said that he is still trying to work with Mr. Blanchard on this issue. <br /> <br />Early Retirement – Ratify a Poll Vote <br /> <br />Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 3-1-1 (Krieger opposed; McKenna <br />abstained) to ratify a poll vote of the Board to allow all thirty-five (35) eligible employees who <br />applied for the Early Retirement Incentive to retire. <br /> <br />Mrs. McKenna abstained because she thought it inappropriate to make this important decision <br />outside of a formal meeting. <br /> <br />NSTAR/Verizon Grant of Location – Reed Street (continued from 12-15-03) <br /> <br />Mr. McSweeney opened the continued public hearing on NStar/Verizon's petition for a grant of <br />location for a pole to be installed on Reed Street. The Board had asked the companies to find a <br />way to provide electric service to a business on Bedford Street at Reed Street without erecting <br />another pole so close to an existing pole. <br /> <br />Mr. Galvin, reported that they could reconfigure the elements on an existing pole to avoid <br />putting up a new pole. <br /> <br />Mr. McKay, owner of the building housing the business, said that to underground the electrical <br />wires, as had been suggested, would lessen the number of parking places to a point where the use <br />would be non-conforming. <br /> <br /> <br />
