The council will then hold our public hearing on proposed ADA accessible sidewalks on the green. The plan is included in the packet and currently is being reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) through an 8-24 referral. This hearing is purely for informational purposes and to get feedback from the community at large.
Following the public hearing, the Town Council has three new items of business. The first of these is the review of a consultant-created study of the town’s Department of Public Works (DPW) fleet of vehicles, staffing and other topics, with recommendations to the town regarding future capital purchases and planning for the DPW.

The second item of business is a consideration of a resolution to apply for a Local Prevention Council (LPC) grant through the State Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and Amplify. The grant supports educational and outreach efforts to reduce vaping among teens and increase public awareness on the risks of vaping.
The final item of business is the appointment of a PZC alternate to fill a vacancy.
