I just received the materials for the meeting tonight, which are  available here:

https://www.town.medfield.net/DocumentCenter/View/4044/BOS-Meeting-Packet-Feb-18-2020-PDF

I especially recommend looking at:

  • RFP for the senior housing on the Hinkley land
  • the list of annual town meeting (ATM) warrant articles
  • Coolidge Corner Theatre’s proposal to show Shutter Island at the Medfield State Hospital in May

This was from the Coolidge Corner Theatre’s outdoor showing at Rocky Woods:

The Coolidge Corner Theatre has also shown outdoor movies on the Kennedy Greenway in Boston.

Selectman Office Hours this Friday

I hold regular monthly office hours at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM and will be there this Friday.

Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters.

Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on). I can be reached via 508-359-9190 or this blog.

 

Please note the numbered Post-Its on the sign above, which were created after one Ralph Parmigiane yelled at me one month for taking too long talking with someone when “people were waiting” to talk with me.  I had not been aware that Ralph was waiting to talk with me, but the issue he raised was real, so I added “Ralph’s numbers” so I could be aware when people were waiting.  In perfect Ralph fashion (loud, brusque, opinionated, but lovable) he made what I was doing better.  I will miss him.

Ralph’s wake is tomorrow evening from 4-8 PM at Roberts Mitchell Caruso Funeral Home and the funeral is a graveside service w/ full military honors on Friday Feb 7th 10am at Vine Lake Cemetery.
