The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: most members of the Town Council, selected guests, and Town Administration personnel were in the Council Chambers, at least one member of the Council was remote along with the public via the Zoom conference bridge, all to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.
I’ve split the almost 3 hour minute meeting into three logical segments:
- First - covers the opening recognition of DPW Director Cantoreggi, public hearing on stormwater bylaw wording, license transaction for LaCantina (~43 mins)
- Second - covers the Melanson & HEath audit report and the presentation by Franklin TV (~40 minutes)
- Third - covers the Town Communications update by Anne Marie Tracey through to the end of the meeting (~70 minutes)
The show notes contain links to the meeting agenda including documents released for this meeting.
Let’s listen to this segment of the Town Council meeting of May 5, 2021
