It was a brief meeting. Major topics were the Farmer’s Market, dredging Stockbridge Bowl, and the Town Accountant position.
1. Stuart Kelso reported that the Farmers’ Market is a success. They will extend the market through September and Kelso expects all current farmers to return next year. Select Board member Patrick White asked about including food trucks.
2. Response: local food purveyors would have to be consulted first and asked if they want to provide food for sale before asking food trucks from elsewhere.
3. Dredging Stockbridge Bowl has been discussed for years. Money was raised by the Stockbridge Bowl Association (SBA) specifically for dredging. Yet nothing has been done. To jump start the process, Town Manager Michael Canales will take over the program. He will set out a plan that will accomplish the task in three years.
4. Don Chabon, former Select Board member, indicated his delight and approval. Motion made and passed.
5. Town Accountant resigned. Canales put together an interim solution, to be evaluated in December, that will accomplish the task at a reduced cost to taxpayers.
