His first move was to call for a weekly 1.5 hour meeting with me and my three technical leads EVERY Monday to "coordinate" between the groups.
I don't think the idea of a regular meeting is the problem, it is holding it for 1.5 hours. If that is simply to reserve that time on everyone's calendar that is one thing, but to need to fill the time because it is there is a problem. If things are well run, which includes ensuring punctuality from everyone, then the meeting could be over with quickly most times. While there are some benefits to meeting in person, weekly would be far too often with today's technology as most of those meetings could be conference calls (eg. skype). When a topic comes up that involves half or less of the people present, then that should be taken offline quickly.
