Select Board approves permits, contracts and spending items in May 12 session
Summary
At the May 12 meeting the Medfield Select Board approved temporary soliciting permits for two door‑to‑door firms and a slate of consent and action items including contract amendments, peer‑review work, and authorization for a community electricity contract; the board moved several items by unanimous voice vote.
The Medfield Select Board on May 12 approved a series of motions covering solicitor permits, contract amendments and administrative actions.
What passed: The board approved 30‑day door‑to‑door solicitation permits for Power Home Remodeling (starting May 13; typical hours Mon–Fri 10 a.m.–7 p.m.; Sat optional 10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and for Ruva (Ruba) Pest Solutions with operating days and hours clarified during the hearing. The board also voted to sign a standard contract with the Commonwealth for the West Street/Route 27 reconstruction (MassDOT contract), authorized a contract amendment with Beta for expanded sidewalk design scope (increase $20,100, contract extended to Dec. 30, 2026), and approved a $2,900 amendment for Weston & Sampson to peer‑review asbestos abatement and restoration work at Medfield State Hospital Building 01.
Other approvals included authorization for the town administrator to sign a new Medfield Community Electricity agreement contingent on the Community Choice committee’s selection of a supplier, acceptance of committee resignations and appointments, approval of FY26 affordable rents for Hillside Village and Ora 40Bs, declaration of miscellaneous police equipment as surplus, and modest increases to revolving‑fund spending limits. Several one‑day wine/beer licenses and standard consent requests were approved as part of the consent agenda.
How the board voted: Motions were taken by voice vote and recorded as approved (voice rolls of 'I'). When dollar amounts or contract specifics in the packet were unclear in the meeting transcript, the board deferred to staff for confirmation in follow‑up materials.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contract signatures and follow up with written confirmations and any necessary documentation for MassDOT and grant reimbursement items.
