Rain gauge read 5.25″ this morning on the lower Copperwood Road flats. Rain gauge tops out at 6″, so at first glance I thought it was empty, as I have never seen the level that high before.

Please check out the video from the Warrant Committee Subcommittee meeting last night. We utilized the new “Owl” which allows us to conduct hybrid meetings via Zoom without having to bring Medfield TV in for assistance. Pete had attended a conference with MMA that discussed towns that were using the Owl, it took a few weeks to get it into place but it was worth the wait!
We intend to continue utilizing Medfield TV for the BOS and School Committee meetings but this offers more flexibility for smaller committees who would like to conduct hybrid meetings.
Your cloud recording is now available.

Trinity Financial was interviewed by the Medfield State Hospital Development Committee last night with respect to Trinity’s proposal to develop the former Medfield State Hospital site. My sense was that Trinity is willing to be exceedingly flexible, and to listen to and consider proposals for changes to what the town wants, if the town wants to further tailor the result to precisely what the town desires. So far Trinity proposes 334 rental units in the existing buildings, 25% affordable, meaning that all 344 should get added to the town’s SHI list of affordable housing units.
Trinity clearly thought that the site could allow for more development than the 334 units, should the town residents want to achieve more tax revenue so as to lower existing real estate taxes (any greater density would target getting more real estate taxes without adding more municipal costs, and hence would lower existing taxes).

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
