Yes: Areson, Reed, Rein, WeinsteinAbstained: Worthington
From the minutes
“Member Reed made a motion to include funding for the engineering services required to obtain estimates for the water line construction, and storm water management improvements for the Pond Village area line expansion in the FY2020 Capital Improvement Plan. Member Rein seconded. Member Worthington will go along with the vote but wanted to make everyone understand that it does go to Town Meeting. It is not up to just the Select Board to make the decision. Ms. Greenbaum stated that this responds to the problem but doesn't address why the problem is occurring. She wondered if there was a possibility of including an analysis of what remediation options are available for the septic systems that are not functioning well for existing cesspools. That way it would be a two-pronged approach. One is bringing in good water and the other is looking at how we improve the quality of the water in the land now. So voted; 4-0-1 (Member Worthington abstains), motion carries.” (Motion: Reed, second: Rein)

To nominate Stephanie Rein as the Select Board liaison to the Walsh Property Community Planning Committee.
From the minutes
“Member Reed made a motion to nominate Stephanie Rein as the Select Board liaison to the Walsh Property Community Planning Committee. Member Areson seconded. Member Areson stated that any one of the Board members would like to be the liaison and she wished to hear from Member Rein as to whether this was something that interests her. She'd also like to hear from her colleagues. Member Reed noted Member Rein's attention to the charge. She believes everyone is well suited but feels Member Rein would be a great match. Member Worthington thinks Member Rein would be a great liaison, and she also feels that Member Areson would do just as well. Member Rein stated that the Walsh Property is something she's passionate about and it was one of the things which inspired her to run as a Select Person. She'd love to be involved in it. So voted; 5-0-0, motion carries.” (Motion: Reed, second: Areson)
