,/,6 -�ZG9 SELECTMEN'S MEETING APRIL 4, 1994 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, April 4, 1994, in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Dailey, Mr. McSweeney, Mr. Busa, Mr. Fenn, Mrs. Eddison; Mr White, Town Manager; and Mrs. Novak, Assistant Town Manager were present. BROOK CLEANING Conservation Commission Chairman Joyce Miller, Eric Mollo- Christensen and Caleb Warner joined the Board for a discussion of the Selectmen's position on Article 17. Mrs. Miller reported that the figures for brook cleaning that were passed out and discussed at last week's Selectmen's meeting had been studied further by the Commission, who now think that the work can be done for less than $25,000. She said that this is based on using the Middlesex Mosquito Control person and equipment, from which they have a verbal commitment, and that this would reduce the original estimate by $32,000. She explained some of the other figures that had been revised, adding that all of this is subject to approval from the State. Mrs. Miller said that because of this refiguring, the Commission will move to withdraw Article 17, since an appropriation from the Town is not needed at this time. Mr. Dailey thanked Mrs. Miller for reporting this good news and said that the Board would look forward to working with the Commission on the Brook cleaning. Mr. Mollo- Christensen said they were pleased that this work was going to be done, but expressed concern about a confirmed blockage downstream in Waltham that might allow potential run -off from Lexington Ridge that could worsen flooding in Lexington. The Board expressed its appreciation to Mrs. Miller and asked that she convey its appreciation to members of the Commission as well, for following through on this brook cleaning project.
