Advisory Committee approves four capital equipment purchases
Cohasset Advisory Committee advanced four capital equipment purchases and rejected two citizen petitions.
Advisory Committee · Meeting of September 2, 2026
Cohasset Advisory Committee advanced four capital equipment purchases and rejected two citizen petitions. Chair Mark Cameron's committee unanimously recommended police fingerprint scanner, handgun replacement, fire department intercom, and public works tide gate replacement, totaling nearly $290,000. Chair Mark Cameron cited the fingerprint scanner's lost technological support, the handguns' documented accidental discharge history, and the 1996 fire intercom's malfunctions.
The committee voted 3-6 to reject a petition repealing the 2024 plastic water bottle ban and 3-6 to reject a summer gas-powered leaf blower restriction in residential districts. A vote on surveillance technology regulation was deferred pending a Select Board legal counsel meeting.
