he Board of Selectmen reviewed a series of proposed articles Monday, searching for the handful it will sponsor during the Special Town Meeting next month. Among the articles were those calling for continued work on the Wakefield/Lynnfield Rail Trail, the Reedy Meadow Golf Course, the declaration of town-owned land on Witham Street, increasing the number all alcohol licenses and pouring licenses, three zoning bylaws, and the updated polices from the Personnel Board. During the during the Sept. 25 meeting, Chairman Christopher Barrett recognized all the work that has recently been done by Personnel Board Chairman Michael Griffin and his fellow members. “ This is the most active Personnel Board I’ve seen in
about 13 years,” said Barrett. Vice Chairman Richard Dalton raised concerns regarding the golf course. “We really haven’t had any updates in ages,” he said. Town Administrator James Boudreau said $1.5 million is currently available for improvements. “The golf course is fine, but the amenities around the golf course are not what people are looking for,” he said. Boudreau also said additional work has been done to refine the three zoning bylaws that were presented last year. “This is supposed to be fixed up,” he said. Regarding the land on Witham Street, Boudreau recommended that the town keep it as surplus as there are not any interested buyers at this time. N o vo te wa s t a k e n o n
