SELECTMEN’S MEETING          MONDAY, MAY 5, 2003             6:00 P.M.

In attendance: James G. Mullen, Jr., Charles J. McCarthy, Marion V. McEttrick, David W. Owen, Town Administrator and Paula Rizzi, Executive Secretary.

The Board was addressed by Diane DiTullio Agostino regarding a Proposition 2 ?  Override format and concerns over lack of backup on the School Department Budget.

Marion V. McEttrick moved, Charles J. McCarthy seconded and the Board voted unanimously to approve entering into a contractual services agreement with Richard G. Wakem, 945 South Street, Roslindale for inspectional services in conjunction with the School Building Program.

Marion V. McEttrick moved, Charles J. McCarthy seconded and the Board voted unanimously to approve and sign a memorandum of agreement contract with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council in the amount of $25,000 for the completion of a Community Development Plan in accordance with Executive Order 418.

The Board discussed the Police Evidence Shed and the estimated $21,000 that is needed to purchase materials to complete this project.  Town Administrator David Owen has suggested to the Warrant Committee that the Capital Budget request for the Town Hall Temperature Controls be swapped for a request for funding the Police Evidence Shed.  It is his feeling that it would be appropriate for the Board of Selectmen to endorse this change in funding under the Capital Warrant Article.  Marion V. McEttrick moved, Charles J. McCarthy seconded and the Board voted unanimously to delete the request for $19,000 in the Capital Warrant Article to fund Town Hall temperature controls, and to substitute in its place $19,000 toward the costs of constructing the Police Evidence Shed.
