Chair Kevin B. Canty convened the November 25 meeting by establishing the ground rules for the evening's proceedings, reminding attendees that any person may make a video or audio recording of an open session of a meeting of the select board after notifying the chair so as to not interfere with the conduct of the meeting. The board quickly opened a packed public hearing regarding proposed electric bicycle regulations, an initiative spearheaded by Deborah Iaquinto. Iaquinto noted that while e-bikes promote accessibility, safety concerns are mounting, stating, I am a great believer in getting input from people who are impacted by the changes that we propose. Residents and advocates, however, voiced sharp opposition to a proposed 16.5-year-old age minimum for riders. Harrison Quinn, a local teacher, argued that banning e-bikes for riders under the age of 16 and a half is not a step in the right direction, while local bike shop owner Seth Lawrence cautioned that registering a bicycle is not going to serve any purpose to law enforcement and noted that e-bikes are often unfairly conflated with motorized dirt bikes.

Rick Veo of the Downtown Waterfront District provided a seasonal update, highlighting the success of the recent Harvest Fest and outlining plans for the upcoming Holiday Stroll. The goal of this organization is to drive business to downtown... all year long, Veo explained, detailing plans for tree lightings and a cookie trail for families. William Keohan emphasized the importance of transparent committee communication to combat social media misinformation, noting that getting information from the source might be one of the ways of combating having to manage those things that you referenced. Following the update, the board processed routine items, including Motion Made by Richard J. Quintal Jr. to "approve the listed licenses as a group." Vote Passed 4-0 and Motion Made by Richard J. Quintal Jr. to "approve the six listed administrative notes as a group." Vote Passed 4-0.

A significant portion of the session was dedicated to filling vacancies on the Earth Removal Bylaw Committee, a group tasked with tightening regulations on sand and gravel operations. The board appointed Scott McMillan, Hampton Watkins, and Edward Conroy after a series of interviews. McMillan highlighted the urgency of the task, stating, I think the sand mining business may be gaming the system to gain unfair advantage. Watkins advocated for a shift in land-use philosophy, remarking that success would have us return at least in some measure to building with rather than exploiting from the natural landscape. Richard J. Quintal Jr. questioned applicant David Peek on community reinvestment, asking, What's with the idea of getting a decent amount and putting it back into water conservation? Peek, joining the meeting virtually, replied, I welcome creative ideas. Applicant Edward Conroy noted the importance of developer accountability, stating that success will be in the pudding when it comes to site restoration. Richard Cery, though not appointed, warned the board that what's needed now in my opinion is a professional consultant's advice to supply specific scientific criteria.

Historic and community preservation goals were also advanced through several appointments. Liz Tracy was appointed to the Historic District Commission, stating, the future of Plymouth is going to be really thankful that we saved our history and our structures, alongside reappointed member Ryan Veo. Veo encouraged the commission to move beyond simple denials, suggesting they do a better job of being more of a part of a solution for everybody that comes before us instead of just saying no. Further appointments included Terry McKenna and Mark Thompson to the Little Red Schoolhouse Committee and Gabriel Patchi to the Senior Task Force, who described himself as a strategic thinker, visionary in that sense. Town Manager Derek Brindisi provided a final update on the Bert’s property demolition, noting it should occur within 14 days. David M. Golden Jr. closed the evening by challenging town departments to a holiday decoration contest, declaring, We'll treat the winner to lunch. The meeting was adjourned at 8:13 PM.
