The session was conducted virtually via Zoom conference bridge to adhere to the \u2018social distancing\u2019 requirements of this pandemic period.\n\nAs I mention during the intro, there is no formal presentation for these sessions. I have at least a couple of things in mind that have changed since the prior meeting to review if folks are interested. We start with your questions, answer those, fill in appropriate background info and connections to other topics where applicable.\n\nThe Town Council and Rep Jeff Roy had held their coffee hour that morning. One of the questions to open with was around the Community Preservation Committee legislation that was just approved by the Council at their meeting the prior Wednesday night (12/16/20).\n\nWe also talk about the spear phishing incident, storm water utility fee, and the tax rate hearing before getting into the schedule for the next session, Jan 17 at 1:00 PM.\n\nThe recording runs just about an hour so let\u2019s listen in\n\n--------------\n\nFranklin Senior Center newsletter\nhttps://www.franklinma.gov/franklin-senior-center/pages/connection-newsletter \n\nFranklin Senior Center email blast for Jan 2, 2021\nhttps://www.franklinmatters.org/2021/01/franklin-senior-center-email-blast.html \n\n-------------\n\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm). \n\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
