4. 
An update from the Town's attorney to the Board of Selectmen on the status of the obstruction *
of access along the coastline between the beach east of the Seaside and the Seaside itself.
2. 
An update from the Town's attorney as to the makeup of the Board of Selectmen's appointee to
the Fire Services Ad Hoc Committee. There seems to be confusion that the First Selectman is a voting
member of the Committee and it appears he is not and his role is advisory. Related issue: Whether the
presence of three BOS members - one voting - at a public meeting necessitates a cross-posting of any
meeting under FOIA.
3. 
An update from the First Selectman on the status of fire services responses. We were told wey.
would be receiving a report at least quarterly and the Board of Selectmen has not received such an 
>
update,
4. 
An update from the Director of DPW, through the First Selectman, about the policies and K
procedures for storm-related tree removal and cleanup. 
This request has been pending since Tropical
Storm Isaias in July 2020. 
| understand that the DPW Director is attempting to update the policies and
procedures; but, a status of what those policies and procedures are at the moment and - 
.
