Selectmen's Meeting November 3, 2003 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday November 3, 2003 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. Chairman McSweeney, Mrs. Krieger, Mrs. McKenna, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Kelley, Mr. White, Town Manager, Mr. Lahey, Town Counsel, and Ms. Tap, Recording Secretary, were present. Public Comment Mr. McSweeney introduced four Boy Scouts who were present to learn more about local government. He invited Alex, Joseph, Kyle and Ronnie up to the front of the room so they could have their picture taken at the Selectmen's table and commended them for their interest in local affairs. Ms. Joyce Hals, a member of the Friends of Lincoln Park, said she found the letter to this committee from the Public Grounds Superintendent inappropriate and threatening in tone. She said the letter accused the group of doing unauthorized clearing near the park. Mr. Amil Otra described his bad experience with three power outages over the course of a day at his Marrett Square business and he is representing the other businesses at Marrett Square tonight. He estimates his loss due to the power interruptions at $9,000 and said that NStar has been unresponsive in these situations. Mr. McSweeney said that the Board would bring this up the next time NStar is on its agenda.
