Selectmen's Meeting Minutes November 6, 2000 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, November 6, 2000 in the Selectmen's Meeting Room at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Krieger, Mr. Enrich, Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. McKenna; Mr. White, Town Manager and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk were present. Public Comments Perry Pollins spoke about an article he had read in the Northwest Weekly that said cities and towns will be reimbursed for school construction projects at the rate of 40 + %. He felt the citizens were deceived because they were told that the reimbursement rate for the Lexington school renovation project would be 59 %. Mr. Enrich replied that he was mistaken in his interpretation of the article. The Lexington High School and Middle Schools renovation project will be reimbursed at the 59% rate. However, what the article was saying is that future projects will be reimbursed at the lower percentage. Mr. Tripi attempted to verbally attack members of the Board and Mrs. Krieger asked him to please sit down. Mr. Tom Griffiths said he was tired of seeing vilification of the Board members by certain citizens. Mrs. McKenna mentioned she had spoken with Liz Andrews from the League of Women Voters who arrange for rides for voting. The two new polling places are not on Lexpress routes and it is hoped that something can be done for future elections. Mr. White indicated it would be looked into. Consent Agenda Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the request for package stores to open on Sundays from the Sunday preceding Thanksgiving through the Sunday before New Year's Day. Street Opening Regulations Assistant Town Engineer David Carbonneau was present to receive Selectmen comments on proposed street opening regulations. Mr. Carbonneau indicated he would be back to the Board for a vote on a comprehensive set of regulations at a later date.
