Pittsfield Board of Selectmen Regular Meeting
The Board conducted public hearings concerning a proposed hawkers and peddlers ordinance, focusing on defining organized events and determining how regulations apply to school-based organizations and third-party vendors. The ordinance was subsequently tabled for further refinement. The Board also reviewed and authorized the acceptance of $145,000 in unanticipated revenue from the Department of Homeland Security to support the Police Department. Deliberations regarding these funds covered equipment maintenance, the procurement of police cruisers, building security upgrades, and the long-term tax implications of these expenditures. Motions were further approved to establish procedures for future quarterly and monthly reimbursement receipts.

The board accepted the resignation of a selectman and code compliance officer, subsequently deciding to temporarily administer the zoning ordinance themselves. A new code compliance officer was appointed conditionally pending a background check. The board discussed repairs for a truck, tabling the final decision to gather more financial data for the next meeting. There was also discussion regarding whether to contract out cemetery maintenance or have town personnel perform it, with the consensus being to leave the current proposal in place until after the budget process. Finally, the welfare budget was reviewed, noting potential increases in client needs due to the rising costs of living, heating, and the unavailability of certain food assistance programs.

Pittsfield Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting
The board discussed a variance application for a proposed casino at 80 Wellsmith Road. It was determined that the application was incomplete due to missing required abutter information, and as a result, the board could not proceed with the public hearing. The discussion also covered procedural requirements for zoning compliance, the process for correcting the abutter list, and established future filing deadlines for the application to be reconsidered.
