Going out for bids now for repair and resurfacing work approved at last Town Meeting — McCaffrey asked if work on Pine Street tennis court should go forward as that spot was suggested for use as a parking lot.

   1. Workers will have to have special training and be licensed
   2. White asked about possibilities of regionalization of services or centralization?
