The Gardner City Council to Meet July 1st
The Gardner City Council will meet in the Ronald F. Cormier Council Chamber on Monday, July 1, 2024. It is expected to decide whether or not to schedule a public hearing regarding the use of land at 827 Green Street which is proposed to be sold to BayState Racing LLC to be used as a horse racing track. The complete agenda and packet contains a large amount of information including NEW information since the June 2024 agenda and packet was released last month.
Here we go again: A couple of days ago Paul DeMeo filed another Open Meeting law complaint alleging this time that the Gardner City Council went in to Executive Session improperly to discuss a matter relating to the Waterford Street School project, stating that the City didn’t discuss possible legal action against the City. Ironically, it was for that very purpose that the Executive Session was entered so that a matter discovered by the City could be handled properly in accordance with the law so that the City’s legal exposure was minimized or avoided all together. Based on this fact, it is likely the complaint will be seen as meritless by the AG’;s office.
