Board of Selectmen
Meeting Minutes
March 5, 2007
6:30 PM: Open Meeting; St. Patrick’s Parish Center.
Quorum present: Curt Wilton (CW), Tina Skorput Cooper (TSC). Michael Kirchner (MK) unable to attend. Also present: Administrative Assistant (AA). No press present.
Board reviews and accepts previous meeting minutes.
Board reviews and approves weekly warrants.
Other Items: TSC and CW discuss whether the Town has an old by-lay regulating snow removal on Town sidewalks. It is noted that the majority of merchants do a great job of keeping their storefront sidewalks clear. But a few don’t make much of an effort and wait for the Highway Dept. to take care of shoveling. Because making the roads safe is the Department’s priority, sidewalks sometime have to wait a few days before being cleaned after a storm. CW thought that there might be a by-law, like other towns, that requires sidewalks to be cleaned by the abutters. TSC will research.
Board reviews suggested dates for a joint meeting as submitted by the FinCom. Board tentatively sets Friday, 3-16 at 4:30.
ConsCom has scheduled a hearing continuation on 3-15-07 at 7:00 PM for aquatic weed removal at Mill Pond.
Board reviews a request for an appropriation of $2,500 from Berkshire South Community Center. Board denies the request. Towns are not allowed to appropriate public funds to non-government organizations.
7:10 PM There being no additional business to discuss, CW makes a motion to adjourn the meeting. TSC seconds the motion. Vote taken, 2-0 in favor.
