Good evening.

Welcome to the select board meeting on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026 at 6 p.m.

here in the town hall of Lennox.

This is the Linux Select Board.

I'm gonna call the meeting to order.

First of all, from announcements from the chair.

The Affordable Housing Trust has just had two trustees cycle off.

And I

want to express my sincere thanks to Kate McNulty Vaughan and Olga Weiss for literally their decades of service to this town with assisting all residents and hopeful Linux Lennox residents in finding housing in town, expressing their wishes for affordable rental and homeownership housing in the town of Lennox.

They've both provided a wealth of suggestions.

They've done a lot of hard work and they've really helped us with our housing production plans over the years and helped us provide the uh support and the interest in us getting the forge over the finish line and uh the second project that we're working with with Penrose at 238 Pittsfield Road.

But I want to sincerely thank them for literally decades of service to our town.

Um now I'd like to move on to Citizens Open Forum.

Can you acknowledge who's recorded?

Oh yes, thank you.

Um we do not have Clarence Fanto here tonight, but it appears that um Sonia Baikovsky is taping tonight's meeting.

No?

No, you're not?

Okay.

CTSB, thank you.

Never mind.

Thank you.

So CTSB is taping this evening's meeting.

Um I would entertain Citizens Open Forum.

Lennox residents are welcome to address the board for up to two minutes.

We're gonna start with Sonya.

I'm just gonna clarify just on here, because um Pascal and Steven, you guys are actually under an agenda item, so you'll be speaking under that piece under general business.

So I'll just yeah, that's part, thank you.

Okay,

thank you.

Sonia Baikovsky, 225 Main Street Lennox.

And I do use WeRecord meetings, so just not today.

Thank you.

So you're you're on top of that.

Um so I had a couple questions.

One, I I've had trouble with the new town website with navigating it.

I went in and talked to Paul, who is great, super helpful.

One of the key things was I didn't even know you need to create account before you can see a calendar.

So that was a big help.

And he offered to help

me

in in the future, set up a time.

And I just thought, well, instead of because I said, Am I the only one with difficulty?

He said now no.

So I just wanted to propose a meeting for citizens.

If if he can if he's gonna spend time with me, just spend an hour with everyone to just get them acclimated to the new website how to use it.

That's my proposal.

And um, so please take that under advisement, and I would thank you for that too.

And I won't bother him until he tells me if you're gonna schedule another one because I don't want to make him do double the work.

Um the other thing is so when I was confused last week.

I came here thinking your meeting was last week here.

Obviously, it wasn't, but I went downstairs to see when it was, and when I looked at the postings on the wall, I saw this notice saying there are no more physical postings anymore.

Um so I wanted to ask about that because I I remember being at a town meeting where there was a vote because at the time the only legally required postings were for physically in the town, and somebody proposed adding the technological piece to require it on both like a website posting, electronic and physical.

And the vote failed.

So I was wondering how then it was changed without a town meeting vote, or can it be?

We actually still do post them physically.

There's a there's a post outside the building now on the north side of the building.

Right down there.

Right, yeah, right down here.

I
