(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A routine agenda turns into a masterclass in local decision-making as we navigate the tightrope between public safety urgency and fiscal restraint. We start with the real world: a fast, coordinated response to a structure fire, rising 911 demand, and community programs that build trust. From there, we move into the choices that define a town’s future—who steps up when the administrator is out, which contracts

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A packed agenda turns into meaningful action as we move from routine approvals to the real work of community care. Our health director lays out the 2026 permit cycle across food service, lodging, pools, tobacco, camps, and more, reinforcing the standards that safeguard daily life. We dig into the asphalt odor issue with specifics: a custom equipment fix, rerouted trucks, additional inspections, and a schedule

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A hidden pipe changed everything. What looked like a perfect 10-acre site for Raynham’s new public safety facility turned out to be a connected wetland under state rules, capping allowable wetland impacts and shutting the door on the plan. After months of due diligence, trenching, and on-the-ground review, we faced the facts and chose a path that gets our first responders the space they need without more dead

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A simple shed becomes a masterclass in how real life collides with zoning math. We sit down with a homeowner and engineer to unpack a 432-square-foot accessory building that needs a side-yard variance, only 4.7 feet from the true property line where 10 feet is required. The twist? A fence set years ago by a prior owner—who also owns the abutting roofing yard—sits off the surveyed line, with a screen of arborv

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) Some meetings hum along; this one pulses with real-life stakes. We open with a fast-moving agenda and quickly get into a focused public health briefing: current mosquito risk levels across town and a clear, trustworthy primer on bedbugs—how to spot them, where they hide, and what prevention actually works. It’s practical, evidence-based guidance backed by a coming town nurse presentation designed to answer yo

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A single vote can redraw a map, and tonight we walk through how small line shifts and clear names shape real neighborhoods. We start with a wetlands-aware redesign that widens a building envelope on Lot 5, cascades adjustments across adjacent parcels, and earns approval by tightening buffers and staying compliant. From there, we tackle the practical side of growth—why road acceptance waits until water, sewer,

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A quiet storm sat at the top of the agenda: could we rely on a 2007 stormwater master plan when DEP’s regional files no longer hold the case record? We walked through what remained—an older notice of intent that documented how the Random Woods Commerce Center controlled peak discharge for 2-, 10-, and 100-year storms—and weighed it against today’s unchanged Standard 2 requirements. With the policy logic intac

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A quiet roll call turns into a full portrait of how a town grows, cares, and keeps its promises. We start with the nuts and bolts: hundreds of permits and inspections driving steady revenue, new housing starts at Blackwood 40B and along Pine Street, and a wave of retail changes—from a truck outlet at the former grocery site to a likely Tractor Supply, plus Popeyes filing and Raising Cane’s on the horizon. The

The Raynham Board of Sewer Commissioners begins their monthly meeting with solemn reflections on the anniversary of 9/11, sharing personal memories of that tragic day before tackling the town's infrastructure challenges. • Ongoing issues at the Market Basket Pumping Station where soap suds are causing pumps to fail and require emergency maintenance • Successful implementation of a new experimental pump at White Street station working "flawlessly"  • Completion of sewer billin

(Episode Description is AI generated and may be errors in accuracy) A small agenda can carry big impact. We moved swiftly from routine approvals into a decision that touches countless local fundraisers: a clear tag day permit policy that puts nonprofits first, sets fair scheduling, and keeps store coordination simple and transparent. With a 30-day runway, community groups get time to adjust while residents gain confidence that a visible tag means their donation counted. The h
