At 7:50, Mr. Merritt introduced Ms. Kerri Trementozzi, a Commission on Disabilities Applicant.

Mr. Gaynor stated “ the discussion last week got beyond anything that I anticipated
or hoped for. I was trying to ask the Board of Selectmen to meet with the elected and appointed boards to discuss issues that are important to the entire town. That is the full extent of it. When there are more specific groups that I have in mind then I will bring those up in detail. That is all that I really need to say.”
