The meeting was called to order by Matt at 7:05 p.m.
Open as a Public Meeting and vote on whether to enter into Executive Session
Josh moved to enter into Executive Session to discuss real estate negotiations for exemption 6 to the open meeting laws. Exemption 6 concerns the purchase of real property. John seconded the motion. By roll call, the committee voted unanimously to enter into Executive Session.
Executive Session
The minutes for the executive session were prepared as a separate file and will be made publicly available when the Committee no longer sees any need to keep them confidential. After discussion of the appraisal, the meeting returned to open session.
3) Natick RFP Discussion
Jan presented the draft RFP to the committee. This draft had been prepared by Jan with input from Patrick and Josh.
Most of the committee discussion pertained to the following RFP items: pre-proposal meeting, submittals, consultant selection, and interview process. Dates were assigned wherever possible.
Once the document was reviewed, the discussion focused on the next steps. First, Jan would make committee recommendations. Second, the document will be forwarded to Patrick Reffett and Chris Bradley (Procurement Officer) for review. Lastly, the document will be forwarded to the Board of Selectmen for final approval. The committee is hopeful that the draft RFP will be voted upon by the Board of Selectmen at the May 18th meeting. Once approved and final, the RFP process can begin.
To move the draft RFP forward, Josh presented the following motion: “I moved to submit the draft RFP to the Board of Selectmen subject to revision by the Procurement Officer and Community Development Director.” The motion was seconded by John, and the committee unanimously approved.
Minutes of April
The approval process for the April minutes was postponed until the June meeting.
Future Meeting Dates
A June 16th meeting date has been set.
6) Other Business
Josh would like to let town members know that a ‘Friends of the CRT’ idea has been endorsed by the committee.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:01 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Cheryl Byrne and Matt Daniels
