Chairman Ed Walsh informed the public that the Executive Session was related to COV19 virus and the steps the Board would be taking on behalf of the Town of Acton  to limit access and keep everyone safe.  The Board met with the Town’s Health Officer Vicki Reardon, the EMA Director Fire Chief Rick Smith, the School Superintendent John Rossman and Transfer Station Department Head Bob Mann.

A statement was developed to be issued via mail to all residents within the Acton and Milton Mills zip codes and placed on the Town’s website.  The Town Administrator read the statement aloud.

Selectmen Ed Walsh commented that the Board of Selectmen take this situation very seriously and have worked hard to make a safe avenue for the public and staff. The Board of Selectmen will continue to meet weekly. This is all being done because the Governor has come out with an order only allowing 10 people to gather in a room and the schools being shut down.  The Board wants to keep everyone safe.
