ADAMS, Mass. — The Selectmen set a June 21 town meeting and plan to hold it outside at Bowe Field. 

 

During a short meeting Wednesday, Chairwoman Christine Hoyt said she wanted to nail down a town meeting date so she could begin planning an outdoor town meeting this summer.

 

"I understand the logistics would be similar, if not the same, as they were in September," she said.

 

To accommodate better ventilation and social distancing during the pandemic, town meeting was held outdoors at Bowe Field last September. The town utilized the pavilion along with additional tents. 

 

With a second vote, the Selectmen opened the town warrant. It will close on May 6.

 

In other business, the Selectmen appointed Natasha Beauchesne as a library aide/cataloger. 

 

"I look forward to starting at the library," she said. "I am very passionate about it."

 

Library Director Holli Jayko said Beauchesne will replace a retired employee and bring staff numbers level.

 

"She comes with high recommendations from her references," she said. "Her background and education make her an excellent candidate."

 

Beauchesne is from Dalton.

 

The Selectmen also appointed seasonal staff.

 

Hoyt said the six employees have worked with the town in the past. She said three of them helped prepare Bellevue Cemetery for Williams Evans' funeral last week.

 

The Selectmen approved the installation of a utility pole on Friend Street to service a house on West Burt Street.
