Stormwater panel fails to send Elm Street to counsel

Other Committee · Meeting of October 21, 2026

DIGHTON — The Stormwater Committee did not carry a motion to refer an Elm Street fee dispute to town counsel. Roll call produced two ayes and one no, and two members gave no response. The committee's stop work order against Zero M Street LLC stands, and the chair declined a motion to remove it "based on advice of counsel." An attorney for the applicant said he cannot find authority for the engineering fees in the bylaw.

Committee members voted to send letters ordering two property owners to stop pumping water onto a public roadway. The panel opened and closed a hearing on an amended bylaw that will go to a June town meeting, and reported a $1,356.48 police detail expenditure.
