Templeton announces records-officer appointment, hazard-mitigation review and community notices
Town Clerk Carol Harris was announced as the town’s records officer, and the broadcast said public-records requests will route through the Town Clerk's office; police records requests will continue to be handled through the Police Chief. A records-request form will be available on the town website, templetonma.gov.

The broadcast said Templeton’s hazard-mitigation plan is expected to be finalized by February and that the Select Board will review the plan in December. Separately, an infectious-disease trailer stocked with personal protective equipment arrived in town; the broadcast presented this as an element of the town’s preparedness resources.

Ian Dolan described a digital-sign proposal from TCTV submitted to the town’s Economic Development Committee that would replace the sign outside the TCTV building, allow town announcements, and permit branded advertising as a revenue stream for the cable department. The proposal estimated roughly 8,000 cars pass the site each day.

The segment also carried community notices: the Houghton Park playground celebrated an opening-day ceremony on Oct. 27 and its vandalized gazebo roof was repaired Oct. 11; the Board of Assessors’ tax-classification hearing is scheduled for Nov. 10; Narragansett Historical Society’s Grange Hall opening occurred Nov. 1 supported partially by Community Preservation Act funds; Parks and Recreation winter basketball registration is open; and an invitation for bids was issued for Scout Hall repairs following lightning strike damage in June. Fall Town Meeting is scheduled for Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. in the Narragansett Middle School Auditorium; TCTV said it will record the meeting live.

On public health, the broadcast reported that as of Oct. 23 there were no positive cases of COVID-19 or West Nile virus reported in Templeton and characterized the town as low risk for those communicable diseases. The broadcast did not present a town health-agent statement beyond the report.
