public hearing from the board of selectmen pursuant to the licensing authority on the mass general laws chapter one forty eight section fifty six will conduct a public hearing on tuesday april twenty ninth two thousand and fourteen at seven fifteen p m in foxborough high school media center strategy sessions in preparation for negotiations with nonunion personnel where we conduct elective bargaining sessions or contract negotiations with nonunion union personnel question are we discussing the police grievance  continue to work with the child safety committee both to provide as complete and accountable county as a possible possibility as what occurred in the sheehan case and to include employment for preventive concrete changes designed to assure that nothing of that nature ever happens again in this town this includes pending action at the may twelfth two thousand and fourteen annual meeting to make the to have more consistency within the regulations and to group related functions into specific areas  the reason for the old regulation is to be able to give you that concept is now in the new document and there was one particular one number twelve from the old regulations that wasn't carried over that was a result of the prior regulations stating that there was to be no parking north of north st along route one that was done in the era of about the late one nine hundred ninety s since that time route one was redeveloped sidewalks were put in on both sides of the highway that would allow for the safe movement of pedestrians to the watch just north of that which would involve these one by the dunkin donuts as well as sturdy hospital does a charity law and then dimitris soon to be the red snapper again is the final walk that has been licensed in the past in the sidewalks on route one right they have dimitris right they have sidewalk access now that they did not have back in the one nine when a prior board suggested limiting the parking north of noise street because of that and there have been you know steady improvements to both sides of the roadway since then  there are several of the regulations on the proposal that have changed to some extent some of them mine already for example at one point it has the year of having the the fee that's in the regulations and that section was removed because any time you were going to raise the fee you would have to have a public wouldn't have to go through this on a yearly basis and just so you know when the hearing was set i did notify my small of the room one businessman's association to let them know that the work we had done last summer was going to be going for would at least the initial hearing tonight so you'd have an opportunity to ask questions if there was a particular way ssion and certainly if the board itself they were having concerning meeting the candidates and i saw that because i'm on their mailing list as well and that's when i contacted mr small about this particular hearing that was going to take place you know just to make them aware and i also believe that there was documentation from your offices one's office out to the license parking lot owners about the proposals that were going forward that had been request was made to delete section two is this redundant with the language in the in the text  final hearing i was going to request that that remain the same that remain in there and that was just it wasn't doesn't strike me that there's anything inconsistent with the spirit of this document  you know if we have a problem if we see a problem with something we can deal with it it's in the regulations and they they're aware that so that was one of the things i was going to bring up when we did have a final number which is right now questions just i know last year we were talking about this week to jenny we talked about the schedule of parking fees in there was decided not to do that for act right the reasoning for that is because some of the events the  cooperative in the regulations and they really came up with really good suggestions you know that again that it was certainly a group effort that i thought that the representatives you know voiced their opinions on the different issues and  were able to work through because at the same time they're working as a group they're also competitors you know but they were able to come up with a consensus that were able to put before the board in  number of representatives from the craft in there and there was there was quite productive back and forth between them and i think a lot of things we had that those couple hearing so i think it was a really good i think he's a really good regulation so you now one item that's new item twenty three that says all parking lots shall open at the same time and over the years you've tried of this with the state only one opening staggering the openings is that a failed attempt and that's w i think it's not a failed attempt it it causes concern amongst the membership that perhaps certain lots of given favoritism over others i think the intent is that we will try and treat everybody a particular walk due to a public safety concern we will open a particular a lot to deal with that issue and i think they realize that my conversations with lieutenant stewart he's in full agreement that if there is some type of hazard that completely jams the highway the north take whatever action is needed to make sure that we can alleviate the hazard so even though that's in the air that's the general goal  that's not to say a condition might occur that would require outside of that so there's that and i agree with that but is that an unwritten understanding is there a number here that says you have power over everything regardless of what this says that they have to open at the same time you know what i'm saying is i feel that under the public safety exception i'll take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the public's understood but that's not written here that's just unwritten and understood underneath already of your position ok it thank you for getting it i think so so we talked about the whole idea of sometimes it's difficult for you to let all the lights open early at the same time because perhaps they're not manned with the detail at that point which could be part of their regular procedure they would be manning with the details well it's not just having detail officers some of the watch don't have adequate staffing to move traffic on to their property and that's one of the things they have to work through to make sure that their staff is there early enough so that they're set up to have people collecting money at the entry point per se being able to have people within their property to direct cars to specific areas for parking so sometimes that would happen why somebody wouldn't open with the rest of we approve the amended of april twenty ninth two thousand and fourteen the licensing procedure regulations for commercial parking as submitted with the exception that we're going to strike section forty second discussion great bells on the island and we were unable to reach heaven obvious say this is for the purpose of re knowing gary's associate membership on our committee s gary being on a member of the plane about our recuse myself this time i'm not going to i'm going to vote against it in this is the reason why you look at all the appointed members that we have in town there's quite a few of them boards in committees and it's quite a few elected boards and committees there's also something that's been going on for the last three or four year years social media has been a tremendous amount of blogging on facebook over the last three or four years and i look across the entire time all of the members that  are appointed or elected don't participate and there's a reason that they don't do that gary participate you know one example some went on and called the building committee henchmen you know sometimes people think it's entertainment  entertaining a lot of people participate and i think it's a detriment to our town i don't want to censor it and i certainly don't it's going to continue but i think in appointed a member we're gary has been over the last since we appointed him it continues it's a detriment to any board that's on here it makes our departure work tougher certainly if an applicant is coming in front of the playing board in the meeting ends at seven or eight and then at eight thirty this blogging that's going on by an appointed official i think it needs to stop and nobody else does it very few people do it in town that's elected or appointed except for this one individual now having said that i have i do have an issue with gary and i you know the chairman had called me up and i think it's a character issue i can put that stuff aside but i think that needs to be changes in some of the social media because it affects every board and makes our job tougher and it makes fox for a worse place to try to do volunteer on a board so i'm going to vote against it must admit that i'm not a social media type i'm up to old school talk to me face to face that's the only way i understand it and i think that's the way to go ok at a table or at least you know when when something's in front of you on a board or when you're in the audience you come up to the microphone and speak it but the blogging that goes on afterwards by an official appointed official i think is inexcusable you know discuss what was the last time and  in other words i'm just not on mechanic street but is offer that for you to roll off of just not street which is off mechanic street they also require a directional sign or a trail blazing sign at  that intersection in order for anyone that gets off ninety five looking for walk your corners take the correct left or right continue down mechanic street and then when they hit then intersection with just my street there's the sign for wax o'connor's indicating to the right and they go down there and watch it horses right down there so in order for them to be added to the sign on the ninety five they need that sign at that intersection i just wonder how that would i still consider that to be a residential neighborhood i'm just wondering how that would look in a resident i know is the the cemeteries across the street but i just didn't it has consideration been given to moving it down to  turn off of the feeder road but could dairy queen get on it if it was exit so you know how i believe would be too far away and also it would have more than one turn because on exit seven you come on route one forty and then you go around the common which is probably another two different three school street and took as history a part of common before you get back on the main street so i think the distance and the fact that you could get onto other roadways that's on ninety five placeholders so you'll see a sign with one restaurant with or two with places for three or four or five signs to go when dunkin donuts comes in when  the pizza place for my apparel comes that's an in it's a residential corner you phone traffic from ninety five down there directly it down i just think next year we're going to be dealing with two or three or four more signs right in that corner how  so this sign that you're proposing is going to say waxes what i'm saying is next year we're going to get dunkin donuts there because if i own that shop i would do the same thing and then the pizza place and then my pearl there's a lot going on at that intersection that is residential and now you're bringing in a lot of commercial signage right there well two things with the sign in that corner on the side won't change so just ones if they're going to out of the not to add another si of getting there i would take it over the tree mile limit and i generally support the things that you brought but i'm thinking in my mindset when you go in ninety five you're looking for a quick dunkin donuts gas station to bring somebody all the way down at one in the morning whoever coming off a ninety five down to that intersection taking a right going down into a residential house i'm not sure if that area i'm not sure if that's what's meant for the ninety  five times but we're not here to talk about dunkin donuts and i'm not sure dunkin donuts can get on there and i'm talking i'm not talking about dunkin donuts i'm talking to bring that traffic for a wax is coming off of you know and i wish you guys the best and i said that last time but you had three liquor violations you just about got pulled in my mind you're on a probation that intersection is the same intersection i have in mind when the girl was sleeping sleeping with the car running with their foot on the gas i mean on the break i'm not comfortable bringing in more people until we've had a little bit more of a trial and i say that i've been in their sense to run a good establishment but this is a lot to bring into a residential corner where there's nothing there right now and it at the very least i'd like to know and i'll be honest with you i travel a lot and what i cannot stand the most is when they say gas through a lodging next exit i go that exit now i'm looking for search and seizure to find we're talking about  really aggravates me especially sometimes when driving all night it aggravates me to the point where i just can't take it anymore so i've documented my actions between here and florida or wherever i go so i know where they're right they're off the whole highway but you know that's just me that's not speaking for the town every traveler some people just doesn't bother them i'm always in a hurry so anyways i would say this much is probably they need to be notified of this is not just like jim says it may be our executive branch just to make this decision but you know what they have no idea it's going on and i don't know of anybody else a flavor that i like to shop or to next meeting  violence that just go on just as a thought process because i think a lot of people don't believe that we have a lot of family violence issues but just as an example in  fiscal thirteen and then again in fiscal fourteen we served ninety restraining orders we responded to over one hundred six family violence calls and made cases in thirteen situations where people have violated the restraining orders so it is although not a significant amount but for a community like that prides itself on being a safe community it's one of the greatest sources of physical violence that we have in our community and i thought the committee and the board has done a great job the sign would be paid for by hugs foxborough we've been in contact with the north fork county agricultural school we have foxborough students at that school that have volunteered to  establish the garden and i think it was the location after talking with chris mitchell who is very active in having the memorial in front of the public safety building gave me some ideas on a placement that would be near the intersection of pace and chestnut street over on the far side of the fire equipment and i know that they've had conversations with  terms of the signage regulation that you see in front of you so we be within the town bylaws and also the placement of the sign to be at least ten feet from the edge of either roadway  hall right to thank you thank you ok i don't know how many of you know about hugs are familiar but i do have a brochure as well and i can pass them out to you we are a nonprofit all volunteer organization that sponsors educational programs to prevent violence awareness promote violence awareness and education and prevention and we provide resources to victims and families affected by violence out exposed in the community this is a symbol that celebrates the courage of all those men women and children and families who have empower themselves and left their unhealthy abusive relationships and i think it's also a sign to others going by who may be in a situation to know that you're not alone there are services healthier and resources that we can put you in touch with and that you do not have to go through this alone and you're not forgotten so it's i think it's a very it's a reminder that there are services available and we're going to have plantings it's as chief o'leary said flowers around the base of the sign and not only the norfolk students from norfolk and you but fox were high school as well because the students particularly juniors who are going to be seniors in the fall we need to unity service projects put on their resume community service hours so we thought this a great segue and help them do that and board members as well and other volunteers so in terms of the timetable we would like to put it in the month of may and we thought of install it around mid may and then do the site preparation work completed by the end of may and then planting  around may thirty first and then we would like to have a dedication ceremony and we thought of before and found this day on june seventh at nine thirty in the morning before the parade begins we thought that w good point thank you so much and that's not a problem and then we are also organizing volunteers to maintain it we'd an edge t noticed that april thank you is sexual assault awareness month and unfortunately as we know crimes involving various sexual assaults have taken place in our community and i thought it would be appropriate for the board to make a proclamation to encourage participation of citizens and taking steps that could reduce  as us to be aware of the victims of this type of heinous crime i did provide a copy of the proclamation and i was hoping that the board it some point w sign off on it so that we could show our community that we're serious about protecting the rights of innocent victims and show a willingness to speak out against this type of activity seems not supportive it can be more timely with the child safety committee that's been going on for a year now certainly support it and i think you get it and i know you know you addressed the issue  earlier this evening with the press release certainly as i was out earlier tonight they had an open house at the child advocacy center and as a member of that board as well as fox bro representative to know that there are young people in communities across north fork county been victimized by different people much as we've seen unfortunately with the situation here more discussion just under discussion so you had emailed me but the physical proclamation to sign we could get on the next to me like yeah yeah yeah ok so we don't need to vote right now  change in the legislature no bid is needed now i thought if i don't think it was legislature i think there was a problem a problem with the bidding process for the initial civil i don't think there's any legislation  sixth paragraph down with the board wanted to change to the annual police officer costs i wanted to strike they and have payments shall continue as long as patriot place or its successor approved by the police chief that actually can you say that again the rain up i was in three great many five any gathering of four hundred or more would require the police chief's approval i wanted to make it clear that we were talking about details are required by the by law ok so you do want to say that any gathering of four hundred or more would default to the bubble so you're saying it doesn't require the police chiefs approval to have  saying the by law says if you have an event of four hundred twenty five this is this is referencing four hundred you know because that's the max they can have right now and the holly are by laws trigger at three twenty five or at the discretion of the police chief no matter what he has discretion they can be to want to he can tell you have a right to details so yeah so this was referring to this four hundred  no you strike try down i am trying to make it so that it doesn't look like the police chief has to approve a gathering of four hundred people i see because it doesn't say anywhere in this about the details right you can say any gathering a formal require the police chiefs approval regarding police detail  you know past history in the chiefs that i wouldn't bring those to you so that the chief was pretty convincing that he's done the due diligence and background on these applicants so i'm comfortable with i wasn't last week but i did  well and i understand that but look at these two applications that are this one says you know has your license been suspended or revoked and he says yes driving to endanger and then i said do you have a valid license and he doesn't say yes or no at the very least you know either take the lines off if we don't expect it to be filled out because we verify you know we have faith in the chief or have them fill out the application completely it can't be one way or the other in the one coming up is the same thing it says you know do a valid license yes here's your eight to operate and suspended it says yes but then he says to wendy to explain public knowledge you know so that's why we don't see it right so why jim's right tell co optation take those three lines off the application of we're not going to go see this is an application to the chief so he needs to see that and then it comes to us  if it's so egregious that it's you know we can't speak and probably then we have an executive session but of course signing off that says you'll drive his license have been taken away i think that information right in that he was told me today that you know it at some sometimes these are scrapes with the law that happened when they were twenty years old or scripts of the law that happened a long time ago they still have to disclose it but you know like i said i've got nothing else to go on but the but the chief's directive that he has  that we had the the the company that the person was going to work for was missing i mean that's just that was just a sloppy application and you would think that you know all the information would be provided i mean i i do think if it's if you have a choice of yes or no one of the other should be checked out you know i just got worst case and say something is someone gets run over the cab never comes back with a kid that was supposed to be dropped off he comes back and says do you know has your rights been suspended yes driving to endanger how do we sign jim i had the exact translation of the chief today they said you know basically we're allowing this person to work in our community and if he had scrapes with the law and they've lost their their license in the past it comes back to us and you know i feel terrible for that scenario happen that you know they did the drive off of the kid again given what's in for me given what the chief said today the chief has more evidence than what we're seeing and i don't think the chief would do this through a story and say you know go forward well that's all i've got yeah i understand i mean i like a more complete i like a complete application i mean i actually googled the sky to find out think and i just want to down the road i just don't want somebody to come back and say well why in god's name would you approve this is and what if it wasn't a complete applications changes hocking application process and coming to the board and you have th all right all those in favor of the polls next i just had a discussion is it going to come up i don't think i need to make calls to the chief of police or the secretary i want the application to have the information it doesn't even say he's got a schedule last year on let's go to number five t way the twenty three is going to work for a lot of people most people are out of town travelling you know it's just not happening and then you get the twenty fifth that's two days what thanksgiving i can live with i'm just going to holidays well was invited to join the veterans and the v f w post twenty six twenty six an american legion ninety three in honor of disease veterans that's monday may twenty sixth form a grade at the legion holiday at forty five the
