Selectman Scalley made a motion to approve the minutes of 8/10/2020. Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Ben Jellison advised the Board that as Moderator, he was requesting that the Primary and General Elections be held at the Fire Station so there would be more room to spread out. He said setting a location for Deliberative Session and Town Meeting can be determined at a later date. Selectman Scalley made a motion to have the Sept. 8 Primary and Nov. 3 General Election at the Fire Station. Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed.

Chairman Gauthier advised the Board that the ZBA is requesting Counsel to be present at their next meeting. Selectman Moroney asked what the reason was. The Chair stated the ZBA felt the Planning Board meeting with the same applicants had gotten a little contentious and wanted Counsel to be present. Selectman Moroney said one company was at the Planning Board meeting for an application. She said another company was there for a consultation and began giving a full presentation. The attorney for the applicant became upset. Selectman Moroney requested that Counsel be contacted on behalf of the Planning Board to see if both cell towers have to be accepted or if not, what criteria should they look at to make a decision. The Secretary raised a question asking if our attorney can represent both Boards. Chairman Gauthier advised the Secretary to contact the Town Attorney to clear up the questions.
