L. OLD BUSINESS
ATC report?
probably a couple of months

M. NEW BUSINESS
did replace current lights with LEDs over time, did get a 2/3rd subsidy to pay for those

accepting 12,000 fluorescent bulbs from State

Bissanti - I see more blighted buildings around town we need to do something
Nutting - we can take another look
Cerel - we have as strong a bylaw as exists in the Commonwealth
Jones- can we get it before the economic development to look at?

Cerel - in a case of irresponsible parties, there is a problem
there is no easy solution, there is a provision to expand the housing courts to cover the entire state
we are in a zone where we are not covered currently
that would be one more tool to use if that happens


N. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Bissnati - commend Padula on extension of the recycling center hours

Kelly - congrats to Erin Lynch as well, Norma is a treasure
Nutting - there are certifications required for the position, we are moving quickly

Kelly - thanks for my fellow councilors for walking the parade route with me this year

Pfeffer - Fire Dept put in a work order 10 months later

Vallee - getting complaints about Lincoln and Daniels
Nutting - some people drag their feet in getting contracts signed, the water line was intended to sit over the winter; should have been started in the first of June

Padula - if we are going to do anything with the bylaw, let's ensure we include the town attorney
