Hardwick, MA Board of Selectmen Meeting 1/22/24

1h 7m

The Hardwick Board of Selectmen addressed a range of municipal matters, beginning with the interim Fire Chief's salary and approving several sewer abatements. Key administrative decisions included approving a pump station color scheme, renewing GIS and cyclical inspection services, and approving past meeting minutes. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the reconsideration of an alcohol license and a Class 2 used car license for Affordable Cars, involving extensive debate on compliance, property conditions, and legal interpretations, ultimately leading to a conditional renewal for Affordable Cars. Departmental updates covered construction, property issues, town clerk activities, and the Town Administrator's report on state funding and upcoming projects. The board also discussed enrollment projections, the sale of town property, scheduled a Personnel Committee meeting, set budget deadlines, and planned repairs for the Old Town Hall.
