Hopkinton Today: Wednesday, June 5

by | Jun 5, 2024 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

At Tuesday’s Select Board meeting, town counsel walked members through different scenarios regarding the Tim Brennan situation. Brennan, who was terminated from the Hopkinton Police Department by the Select Board on Feb. 8, filed a grievance and is taking his case to arbitration. The result of that arbitration — which will be conducted privately — could go any number of ways, explained attorney Donna Brewer from the law firm Harrington Heep, which represents the town.

The Planning Board at its meeting Monday night debated how it should move forward on achieving compliance with the MBTA Communities Act after the proposed zoning bylaw was shot down at Annual Town Meeting on May 8. Also, an applicant presented a proposal to construct an indoor/outdoor pickleball and padel tennis facility on East Main Street.

Following up on concerns about unpermitted retail food distribution in the Legacy Farms neighborhood, Health Director Shaun McAuliffe sent cease and desist letters to two homeowners last week. McAuliffe said both homeowners assured him they have discontinued the behavior.

This week’s Move In Style Athlete Spotlight shines on boys lacrosse midfielder John Sanda, who helped the Hillers notch their first postseason win since 2019.

The Hopkinton Trails Club will hold its next monthly meeting on Wednesday, June 12, from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Hopkinton Public Library.

Town meetings today include the Council on Aging (1 p.m.).

Photo of the Day: Family and friends gathered this past Saturday to celebrate Scott Mackin’s 60th birthday. Mackin (middle, with crown) is best known for his contributions to the athletic program at Hopkinton High School.
