Woburn commission approves signage for a hearing- and visually-impaired child, approves minutes and cancels July/August meetings

The Woburn City Commission approved several routine and scheduling items at its May 16 meeting, including approving March 21 minutes, authorizing signage for a hearing- and visually-impaired child near an address referenced as '3 Lodge Road' (the transcript also contains the variant '3 Lock Road'), and canceling July and August meetings for the summer.

Minutes: The commission voted to accept the minutes from the March 21 meeting after a motion and second by members on the record.

Signage for hearing- and visually-impaired child: The commission heard public comment in support of installing signage to warn drivers about a child in the neighborhood who is hearing- and visually-impaired. Jim Puffalotto said he inspected the location and supported the action. The motion to approve signage included a proviso that the Department of Public Works superintendent determine exact placement and wording to conform with municipal code; the motion passed by voice vote.

Summer schedule: A motion to cancel July and August meetings and to reconvene the third week of September passed by voice vote.

Adjournment: The commission moved to adjourn and the meeting ended.

Details on vote counts: Votes were recorded by voice as 'Aye' and the chair announced approval for each motion; individual roll-call tallies beyond the recorded 'Aye' were not specified on the record.
