Sharon Connors (SC), Chair, called the meeting to order at 3:00 pm in the Town Hall second floor meeting room. Others in attendance included:

Betty Slade 2037 Main Road, WPT
1. SC thanked Michael Coughlin (MC) for joining this emergency meeting to discuss what could be done to deal with the issue of the lack of protection of the structures at 1813-1815 Main Road.
2. MC advised that he had consulted with the Building Inspector and Town Counsel and verified that the Building Department’s December 15, 2009 notice had started the meter running for period of notice. He authorized Town Counsel to proceed to court immediately to request a temporary restraining order to require the owners to maintain adequate protection of the structures, and also to recover attorney’s fees because the
Town is forced to appeal to the court to enforce the court’s own decision. MC advised that WHC take a vote to request an executive meeting with the BOS on Monday, February 8, at which the Town Counsel would also be present (already planned for other matters).
3. JL moved and GM seconded a motion to ask the Town to take immediate action to address failure of A. C. Furtado, et al., to fulfill the terms of the stipulation of agreement issued by Superior Court concerning 1813-1815 Main Road, specifically that the structures be protected from the elements. The vote in favor was unanimous.
4. MC undertook to place the WHC matter on the BOS agenda for executive session.
Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 4:00pm.
