61-125 Selectmen’s Meeting Minutes February 2, 1998 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, February 2, 1998 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 p.m. Chairman McSweeney, Mr. Busa, Mr. Fenn, Mrs. Eddison, Mr. Enrich; Mr. White, Town Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel; and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk, were present. Public Comments The Board was asked about the progress of an alternative plan for the schools. Mr. Busa reported that the group did meet once. They will have their second meeting this week. The group tried to form a basis for starting off the meetings and established four criteria – smaller project, less extravagant, all schools and reimbursable. We haven’t drawn out any numbers yet. The first thing we need to do is make sure all folks are thinking and moving forward in the same direction. Mr. Fenn reviewed a little history of the effort. The Board of Selectmen sent a letter to the Chairman of the School Committee suggesting that this group be set up to see if we can get together on a project that we can all support. Special Town Meeting Mr. McSweeney explained that it is necessary to call a Special Town Meeting for March 23 in order to deal with the portable classrooms for the School Department. This will allow the School Department to go out to bid on the classrooms and have them in place for the start of the school year. The Warrant will also have an article to fund the arbitration award concerning the Fire Contract. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to call a Special Town Meeting at 8:30 p.m. on March 23, 1998.
