+ Heard a review of town office space needs. Town Administrator Libby Gibson explained that a consultant rated the first floor of the town building as only 50 percent utilized and that the Mooney building at the corner of Federal and Broad streets is also under-utilized. Several options were proposed to group together similar departments, such as zoning, building, planning and health for public convenience, possible relocation of the courts, selling the Mooney building and adding on to the historic town hall. Selectman Patty Roggeveen said she would like to see numbers on what renovations would cost and a survey of town departments on working in scattered locations while examining the continuance of government offices in the core district.

+ Heard from Police Chief William Pittman about a new core area ticketing system for vehicles for vehicles that uses GPS coordinates to log a vehicle's location and track drivers' attempts to skirt parking restrictions by rolling their vehicles a few inches to move the chalk tire marks. The new system will be tested for 90 days starting in July before equipment is purchased.
