Legalities
At their July 24 meeting, members of the select board will approve a proclamation thanking longtime town counsel John Giorgio for his many years of service and hear an update from Giorgio about how his firm, KP Law, will provide legal services to the town after his upcoming retirement.
After a few other items, including an update on the town’s sewer expansion project, the board will then go into executive session to discuss numerous lawsuits in which the town is involved.
Among the suits the board will discuss is Curaleaf’s attempt to claw back $372,000 in host community fees that the company paid to the town between 2020 and 2022.
Also on the agenda is a lawsuit filed by Nicolas Patrick against former Police Chief Jim Golden, a complaint by former Police Detective Meredith Lobur against the town filed at the Mass. Commission Against Discrimination, and a lawsuit to which the town is not yet party: King County v. Turner.
That lawsuit was originally filed by five counties and three cities that challenged the Trump administration’s right to put new conditions on housing and transit grants already approved by Congress.
Twenty-three jurisdictions joined an amended complaint in May, and another 29 jurisdictions joined a second amended complaint on July 10. The expanded version of King County v. Turner now covers $12 billion worth of housing and transportation grants and could potentially grow further if other jurisdictions seek to join it. —Paul Benson
