61-163 Selectmen’s Meeting Minutes May 18, 1998 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, May 18, 1998 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Enrich, Mr. Busa, Mr. Fenn, Mrs. Eddison, Mrs. Krieger; Mr. White, Town Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel; and Ms. Smith, Executive Clerk were present. Public Comments Perry Pollins petitioned the Board to consider giving the taxpayers a quarterly report on showing the breakout of expenditures by department. Mr. Enrich indicated that the Board would take his suggestion under consideration; however, doing it on a quarterly basis is not practical. Caleb Warner reported on a recent meeting he had attended concerning the disposition of the McLean Hospital land in Belmont. He has been asked by the Conservation Commission and as a member of the South Lexington Civic Association to keep informed on the situation as they are concerned about the impact on control of storm water. The next meeting will focus on traffic which is another significant issue. Mrs. Krieger felt it is important to get the Planning Board involved in this matter.
