This week's meeting of the Board of Selectmen will include a Special Town Meeting at 7 p.m. to appropriate $15,000 to the library to repair and/or replace its sump pumps.
"In the past, they've had some flooding and some leakage, and they could potentially have some problems in the future," says Town Manager Troy B.G. Clarkson, noting the library's current pumps are not working. "This is a preventative measure."
Other agenda items include two Verizon pole hearings (one for Birch Street and one for North Street), and an update on the proposed sign policy involving a possible ban of signs on the grounds of the Town Common and Academy Building.
Clarkson says his manager's report will include follow-up discussion on issues of concern to the selectmen such as a May 2010 letter sent to the state asking for a full fail-safe MEPA (Massachusetts Environmental Protection Act) review to gauge the impacts of three state facilities -- Bridgewater State University, Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Bridgewater, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station -- on the town's local resources.
Tuesday's meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Memorial Building, 25 South Street. For more information or a full agenda, call 508-697-0919.
