Councilor Ringus (reporting for the Ordinance & Rules committee) said the committee met earlier and “after some deep discussion on it, we did table the matter,” adding that the current draft “seemed like it was gonna create more wrinkles.” The council then made a motion to table; the motion carried unanimously.

Earlier in the meeting the council approved the minutes of June 17, 2025. The council then voted unanimously to refer the night’s new business to the appropriate committees. The meeting concluded with a unanimous motion to adjourn.

Announcements and community notices were delivered during the meeting: Councilor Bridal announced a seasonal family flu walk-in clinic on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Town Hall Cahill Auditorium; the clinic is free, first come, first served, and open to adults 18 and older and students in grades 5–12 (Councilor Bridal asked attendees to bring insurance cards and, for 18-year-olds, to bring a parent or guardian). Councilor Flaherty announced an American Legion event marking the U.S. Navy’s 200th birthday on Friday, Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. in Cahill Auditorium.

Councilor Ringuis (Ringus) also announced the unexpected death of Dr. Maureen Murray Adamson, who served in Braintree schools leadership roles; Ringuis asked the council to keep her family in their prayers. Councilor Maglio summarized upcoming sessions connected to the Four River Basin Summit (including speakers and dates) and noted an East Braintree Community Action Coalition candidates forum on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m., to be moderated by Tamisha Civil and to be carried by BCAM.

Coach Frank Fasoli, who led the team with a group of assistant coaches, told the council the accomplishment came from sustained practice and community support. “They wanted to practice more than we did,” Fasoli said. “They were out there every single night practicing.”

Councilors and the council president noted the team’s impact on town morale as much as on the field. Councilor Moore, a former Braintree American board member, said the run required “unbelievable” sacrifices by parents and volunteers and called the team’s season “a summer that was unforgettable.” Councilor Quilty told the players their experiences “build character,” and Councilor Clarity said the team “made your whole town’s summer special.”

President Ryan said the team united the town and the region during its run, noting fans and watch parties across Massachusetts and New England. Several council members asked players and coaches to come forward for recognition and a group photo at the front of the chamber.

The council thanked the coaches — identified in comments as Frank Fasoli (head coach) with assistant coaches PJ Kippenhahn, Sean Needle, Chad Guthrow and Dan Sarrett — and named the roster of players during the ceremony. The council also invited parents and supporters to take photos after the recognition.

The council’s remarks emphasized sportsmanship, teamwork and community support alongside athletic achievement. The recognition concluded with councilors and team members joining at the front of the auditorium for photographs.","The Town of Braintree recognized the Braintree American Little League U12 A team at a town council meeting, congratulating players, coaches and families for winning district, sectional, state and New England regional titles and for winning a game at the Little League World Series.","actionData","errors"]
