Thomas Dougherty of the Massachusetts Port Authority Community Advisory Committee joined the meeting to discuss the updated Runway 4R letter.

Comtronics

The Select Board approved of the Comtronics request for proposal, which is the agreement to use shared space on a tower in Quincy for repeaters, which will in turn enhance the public works radio system which allows all municipal agencies to purchase communicator equipment for use on the shared tower space.
