▶ 42:14 Speaker 5: ID number 2026-73, WR number 31135450 for 4 Glendale Avenue, joint pole installation.

▶ 42:27 Kimberly Vandiver: Uh, President Freeman, we did have a public hearing about this, uh, item. Um, after hearing the feedback from that public meeting, National Grid now intends to, um, change course, and, uh, instead of this, um, they're going to go ahead and replace the original pole with a stronger pole. Uh, so for that reason, um, I make a motion to place this item on file.

▶ 43:19 Bradley Freeman: Thank you. Mm-hmm. Do we have any reports from committees? Seeing none.
