Dave Pinsonneault gave the DPW update. It's increasingly difficult to find replacements for the ornamental light bulbs (failing sockets.) These bulbs will be replaced en masse in the Streetscape Plan. Proposal is out to bid for replacing trees on the south side of Mass Ave. Like the bulbs, these trees will be replaced in the Streetscape Plan and trees in good condition will be moved elsewhere. The "Big Belly" waste receptacles (which have been successful) are aging. These too, will be replaced in the Streetscape Plan. Refurbishing of the Minuteman statue will commence on October 151h The Battle Green Project is moving forward.

There was an informal consensus that additional stations would be located next to the existing ones and placed together in the Muzzey Street lot. Jerry Michelson and Pamela Lyons inquired as to who would pay for the charging. When the first stations were installed a federal grant paid for the charging cost for two years. Since
