Present: Chairman Madan, Clerk Royle, Selectmen McCarter, Mahana, and

Jim Noris, Finance Committee Member
John D'Agostino, Town Manager
Town Manager D'Agostino stated the Board of Selectmen is in receipt of an application
for a Reserve Fund Transfer Request in the amount of $62,000. The transfer would
cover the cost of unforeseen conditions associated with the construction/rehabilitation of
the former Town Hall/Police Station renovation project into a new Police Station.
Discussion followed concerning the remaining balance in the Reserve Fund, whether or
not a vote can be taken to spend more money on the project, whether or not the project
contractor will be due interest if the Town waits to pay him until a Town Meeting vote is
taken, possibility of including an article on the Town Meeting warrant to replenish money
taken from the Reserve Fund and fund improvements to the Central Fire Station, and
whether or not additional funds will be sought for furnishing the Police Station.
Town Manager D'Agostino requested the Selectmen's input on a proposed agreement
with the Police Department that would eliminate the flagger article on the Town Meeting
warrant. The agreement calls for officers to be paid at straight time while working details
with still the minimum billed four hours.
Motion: To support.
(Mahana - Royle) All in favor. Passes.
Chairman Madan and Selectman Robinson left the room for the following discussion
concerning the Board's approval last week of a transfer of a Class II license for Shaw's
Leasing to 95 South Main Street. Town Manager D'Agostino stated that the new license
will not be issued to Shaw's until the issue with the present Class II license holder at the
same location is resolved.
