Public hearings were held to advance two related National Grid utility projects, installing underground conduits and transformers as part of the broader Rear Main Street revitalization project to upgrade downtown electrical service. A highly debated ordinance regarding the winter parking ban procedures was moved forward, aiming to mandate overnight parking restrictions in January and February to assist the **Police Department and DPW with snow removal. The Council also focused on personnel matters, approving the long-anticipated modernization of the non-union salary system to enhance employee retention, following a debate about crediting employee experience. Financial items, including appropriating free cash for stabilization and landfill maintenance, were also adopted. Finally, the Council formally closed an open meeting law complaint by adopting the Attorney General’s finding of no violations by the City Council.
