The meeting was called to order by Chairman Ms. Verma at 7:05 PM.
Public Comments: Former TAC member Webb Sussman had been forwarded the
info about the Town seeking citizen suggestions for one-time use of $500,000,
and he had responded. Mr. Botla acknowledged Mr. Sussman’s response and
suggested putting it on next TAC meeting’s agenda.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss Mr. Botla’s final draft of TAC’s letter to
the School Committee & the Select Board, so it could be sent.

unanimously to accept. Ms. Barrett had suggested that 128 Business Council’s Tri-

that was also agreed on.

would send it out.
It was noted that the next draft of the MBTA’s Bus Network Redesign will be
available on Nov 2.
