<br />Select Board <br />March 16,2026 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />Barry Blake (709 Great Neck Road South, abutter to the Amos House) spoke in favor of <br />preserving the Amos House as a historic structure but raised concerns about the proposal. <br />He noted that construction cost estimates have not undergone independent review and <br />referenced the Finance Committee’s prior vote against the project. Based on these <br />concerns, he recommended voting against the proposal. <br />Kathy Lewis (44 Juniper Drive) spoke in support of Article 24, which relates to fire <br />suppression improvements at a school facility.

She emphasized the importance of ensuring safety and <br />encouraged keeping the article on the warrant despite the town’s financial constraints. <br />Susan Dangle spoke in support of Article 4, emphasizing the importance of continuing <br />wastewater planning e?orts. She noted that voters have consistently supported clean <br />water initiatives and expressed concern that delaying or changing course could undermine <br />prior commitments. She encouraged moving forward with e?orts to secure funding and <br />continue progress. <br />Tim Martin (780 Russell Road) raised concerns about Article 4, stating that the proposal <br />lacks clarity regarding priorities and outcomes. He highlighted opportunities for innovative <br />approaches, particularly for properties that may not be easily served by traditional sewer <br />systems. <br />Meredith Harris (531 Main Street) spoke in support of Article 4, expressing concern about <br />any hesitation to proceed. She noted that the Sewer Commission voted unanimously in <br />favor of the project and warned that delays could result in lost momentum and increased <br />costs. She emphasized the importance of moving forward with a clear plan to address <br />wastewater needs in both major watersheds. <br />MINUTES <br />Motion made by Selectman Weeden to approve the minutes of March 4,2026. <br />Motion seconded by Selectman Richardson. <br />Vote: 3-0-2 <br />Roll Call Vote <br />Selectwoman Wyman-Colombo-yes <br />Selectman Weeden-abstention <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
