Town Council spends almost 2 hours to ultimately & unanimously approve appointments of 2 to the ZBA (video)

The Town Council met for 5 hours on Wednesday night, Jan 21, 2026. 8 members were present in Chambers with one absent.

Franklin TV video for replay -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZJNniE9Gk

The meeting agenda ->    https://www.franklinma.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_01212026-2101 

Quick recap:

• 2 hours were spent talking around and around the Zooning Board of Appeals appointments. After all was said, both highly qualified candidates were approved unanimously (in separate votes)
• Brutus Cantoreggi presented on the DPW and their infrastructure work. As he began he introduced the entire management team which was also present and several of them has an opportunity to answer specific questions during the segment
• The Council again combined "councilor comments and future agenda items" sections in an attempt to speed up the closing of the session. However ended up in an extensive discussion on future topics around budget, timeline, engagement, to have and hold Joint Budget sessions, etc. Seems like that may happen after the budget is released in April. Stay tuned
• An item coming out of the ZBA discussion earlier was a desire to expand the board membership from 3 to 5. That would require a charter change, and per the prior 1 hour plus discussion at the Dec 17,2025 meeting on charter changes, would not likely happen in time for a November 2026 ballot question (although that was the request)

This highlights the central role DPW infrastructure plays in Town operations

FHS boys hockey top Natick on Monday (video)

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, January 19, 2026

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 2 vs. Natick, 1 – Final 

– Franklin rallied for a pair of goals in the final five minutes to grab a win against Natick. The Red Hawks scored their lone goal of the game in the first period and carried that lea all the way past the halfway mark of the third. Natick went on the power play but it was Franklin senior Rocco Lampasona that won a battle at his own blue line and then went in alone on a breakaway, firing a shot past the goalie to make it 1-1. Junior Colby Yagnesak came through with his first career goal for the game-winner with two minutes to go, finishing off a pass from Thomas Quinn on the power play. Drake McAlpine also had an assist for Franklin.

Gymnastics = Franklin, 131.75 @ Attleboro, 140.95 – Final
