On being a selectman


Finished the scholarship work Wednesday evening – well organized and fascinating process.

Spoke with Jim James about his space needs for Park Street Books and possible solutions.  Spoke with a member of the Downtown Study Committee re same and other issues.

Scheduled a meeting of the Board of Selectmen for next Wednesday at 6:30 PM – we need to consider whether to grant a waiver to a ZBA member for 40B hearing later that evening.

Reviewed Mike’s draft of a letter from the Board of Selectmen to the ZBA over the Gatehouse 40B.  He focused primarily on  flooding potential, loss of industrial land, problem of residences next to industrial uses, safety issues, sidewalks, screening neighbors, insufficient playground area, and prohibiting alcohol in clubhouse.  I am not sure I agree with the  last one, and will suggest that complex be tobacco free.

Sent both Chiefs an article from the MMA’s Bulletin on stress relief for first responders.

Planning/thinking about items for next meeting of the Board of Selectmen –

  • mission for the Medfield State Hospital study committee
  • fill out the annual calendar we agreed upon earlier this year, but never implemented
  • focus on needs of the downtown
  • invite the Montrose School to discuss the vacant Cushman House
