After
the boards of finance and selectmen approved the contract to rent space on top
of cell towers for new radio transmitters, the decision will head to the public
for a final vote.
The
Republican American reported that, “First
Selectman Edmond V. Mone said the Board of Selectmen, in approving the
contracts Wednesday morning, set a town meeting for 6:30 p.m. Aug. 21 to give
taxpayers an opportunity to vote.”
This issue is required to be voted on by the taxpayers
because it is a multiyear contact. The towers are located on Chapel Street and
on Mount Tobe Road in Plymouth. These new systems will aid first responders as
well as public works crews.
Thomaston's system has not been updated since
the 1970s, and it routinely drops calls and leaves dispatchers and officers
calling cell phones to make contact.
