SELECTMEN'S MEETING January 2, 1979 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Select- men's Meeting Room, Town Office Building, on Tuesday, January 2, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. Chairman Battin, Mr. Buse, Mrs. Miley, Mr. Kent and Mr. Crain, Mr. Hutchinson, Town Manager; Mrs. Banks, Assistant to the Town Manager, Miss Casey, Principal Clerk, Selectmen, were present. Chairman Battin opened the meeting by reading a request from Stephen L. Delaney, Administrative•Assistant to DPW Director of the Town of Dan- vers to write to Governor Elect King supporting the retention of Robert R. Kiley as Chairman of the MBTA. After discussion, the Board agreed that it would not be appropriate to write such a letter as a Board, but each member, as an individual, could, if he choseto, write to express his wishes. A request For Approval of Location of Chapter 180 Non -Profit Cor- poration for Cooperative Elder Services, Inc., c/o Minuteman Home Care Corporation, 365 Waltham Street was read by the Chairman. Information given to Miss Casey by Susan Rothbaum of Minuteman Home Care Corporation was not specific regarding the function of Cooperative Elder Services, Inc. at the location. There was also some concern ex- pressed by the Selectmen that there might be some duplication of services with other agencies. Mrs. Banks is to check into the matter and report back to the Board. The Chairman referred the Board to their copies of a status report from Ron Fitzgerald, Superintendent/Director of the Minuteman Regional Vocational School regarding an invitation to the Selectmen to have a rep- resentative at the Minuteman School Committee meeting on January 9 rela- tive to a forthcoming hearing on proposed changes in State aid Regulations. Mrs. Battin is to write to Mr. Robert C. Jackson to request him to attend the hearing and testify as necessary on behalf of the town. Mr. Hutchinson is to prepare written testimony on behalf of the Selectmen, a copy of which will be sent to Mr. Jackson. The Chairman referred the Board to its copies of a letter from Dean H. Curtin requesting"No Parking" signs at the intersection of Lincoln and School Streets where he is constructing an office building. A report from the Traffic Safety Committee indicated that there was no need for such signs at the present time. The Committee indicated in its report that, upon completion of the building, the location will again be observed and should there be a problem or a potential problem, a course of corrective action will be recommended. Mr. Curtin is to be so informed. 31/3 MBTA Chairman Kiley Certif i- cate of Inc. Coopera- tive Elder Services Minuteman VOTEC Meeting Request For "No Park- ing" Signs Dean Curtin
