Board of Selectmen Meeting <br /> October 20, 1987 <br /> Meeting convened at 7:55 P.M. in the Selectmen' s Meeting Room 6 <br /> Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts. Present were Chairman <br /> John Russell, Secretary Russell Graham, Selectmen Mollie Ziegler, <br /> Town Manager Pete Hechenbleikner, Public Works Director Anthony <br /> Fletcher, Director of Community Development Jonathan Edwards and <br /> a number of interested citizens. <br /> Mr. Fletcher discussed with the Board the need for three addi- <br /> tional items for the Public Works Facility under construction. <br /> These include a new generator, painting of the interior of the <br /> shop areas , and an overhead door for the salt storage area. <br /> These items were all cut from the initial project because of cost <br /> considerations. It is now estimated that the project, even with <br /> the proposed additions, will come in approximately $200,000 under <br /> the monies authorized. The sense of the members of the Board <br /> present were to go ahead with all of these additions. The Town <br /> Manager will inform the other two members of the Board of <br /> Selectmen and get any feedback that they might have. <br /> At 8: 00 P.M. there was a motion by Ziegler seconded by Graham un- <br /> animously approved to close the Warrant for the special Town <br /> Meeting. Eleven articles were included in the Warrant, and <br /> Jonathan Edwards reviewed a minor modification to Article 8. <br /> On motion by Ziegler seconded by Graham the Board approved on a <br /> vote of 3-0-0 to authorize the Town Manager to make application <br /> for the PWED grant. Total project amount was $550,000, and the <br /> Town' s share would be something less than $162,000. The Town' s <br /> share would come from sale of real estate, betterments, or the <br /> tax levy all subject to appropriation. <br /> On motion by Ziegler seconded by Graham the names of Ms. Callan <br /> and Ms. Carlson were placed in nomination for a term on the Hous- <br /> ing Authority to expire June 30, 1988. The Housing Authority <br /> recommended Ms. Carlson. Ms. Carlson received three votes, Ms. <br /> Callan receiving no votes and Lynne Carlson was appointed for the <br /> term. <br /> Motion by Graham seconded by Zeigler to adjourn at 8 : 20 P.M. <br /> - The motion was approved by vote of 3-0-0. <br /> Respectfully submitted: <br /> 1 <br />
