By Charter, in the absence of the Town Moderator, Donald Wilmot, First Selectman John Adams served as Moderator and called the Special Town Meeting to order at 8:00 p.m.

The Moderator asked if there was any information received concerning the call.
Town Manager Smith reported he received a letter, which is attached, from DEP stating their objection to the discontinuance of Fox Road. Also, he referred to comments received from the Planning and Zoning Commission favoring the discontinuance.
Town resident Deborah Brooks, 3 Fox Road, wanted the Resolution amended to allow some portion of Fox Road to remain a town road. She stated the discontinuance of Fox Road to her house would be a hardship to her, especially in the winter.
ON A MOTION by Selectman Judice, to amend the resolution to allow the portion of Fox Road, to 3 Fox Road, to remain open to satisfy comments by Ms. Brooks, First Selectman Adams asked for a second, there was none. He then declared the amendment to the resolution failed.
There were no other comments from the public.
First Selectman Adams then called for a voice vote. The majority of the voice vote reflected a yes vote and there was one vote of opposition. The Moderator then declared the resolution passed.
