<br /> Liaison Reports/Selectmen's Comments
<br /> Bruce MacDonald noted with regard to Sanborn Lane that things seem to be somewhat less tense
<br /> in the neighborhood. He has received calls about Special Employee Status. He has received two
<br /> calls about the adult video store. He noted for clarification that the Board of Selectmen discussed
<br /> adult entertainment zoning four meetings ago, and there is still a need for such regulations. This
<br /> is not a regulated business and it is a constitutionally protected business. The Town is in the
<br /> process of trying to understand what the options are. The zoning has to be reviewed in detail.
<br /> MacDonald also met Wednesday night with the Solid Waste Advisory Committee with Dan
<br /> Ensminger regarding Pay as you Throw, and Monday night met with the Council on Aging
<br /> regarding the Senior Tax/Work Program.
