Call to Order:

Minutes Approval:
Minutes were approved for June 7, 2016.
Correspondence and Communications:
There was no correspondence.
New Business/ Present Business:
Richard McGrath reported there have been no new demolition delay requests.
Two properties under the Demolition Delay Plan Review, 37 Burrage Street and 203
West Townsend Road, still have not complied with this Plan. As provided in the Bylaw a
failure to do so mandates a two year waiting period for a building permit. Michael
Sauvageau, the Building Inspector, has been so notified.
Richard McGrath has intended and will discuss the maintenance and preservation of the
Town Pound, an important historical site, with Jack Rodriquenz, the Operations Director,
of the Department of Public Work.
Richard McGrath updated the ongoing process for the restoration of the receiving tomb at
the North Cemetery. Although his services as a master mason have been offered without
expense to the Town, numerous discussions and requirements have caused him to
voluntarily withdraw his offer of services for the project.
Voted: The specified gift of five hundred dollars ($ 500.00) from the Historical
Commission for this restoration is rescinded.
Richard McGrath will so advise Lance May, Chairman of the Cemetery Department, and
the Town Manager for the Board of Selectmen.
