Selectman Dalton read into the record the letter from Historical Commission member Kirk Mansfield advocating for the renaming of the Historical Center in the honor of their family. Town Administrator Robert Dolan said that this petition was developed by residents who wish to honor the Pope-Richard family, who for generations were active in Lynnfield historical efforts, and whose family was tragically struck by COVID-19, with the passing of Historical Commission member Steven Richard this spring, followed just weeks later by the passing of his father, Earl Richard, from the same disease. Vote by roll call was approved 2-0, Dalton and Crawford in favor. MOTION by Selectman Crawford, duly seconded by Selectman Dalton: I move that the public hearing be opened.
