1. Community Development -Delorey encouraged the Board to create a list
of town priorities working towards a community development strategy and
asked the Board to send a letter of support. Lemon signed the
application to be part of the North Quabbin Small Business Loan Program
and signed the inter-local agreement with other towns involved in the
program. At next week's Board meeting there will be a public hearing to
discuss the town's goals. 2. WCS Sprinkler System and Contract - The
Board received a proposal from Dobbert Heating & AC to repair the WCS
sprinkler system via Pioneer Superintendent Courtney. Dobbert originally
installed the system at the school. Repair work could begin this week.
The Board held a discussion regarding the proposed contract with Supt.
Courtney via speakerphone. Some issues raised included: accessible
drains in problem areas, issue of treated water being
required/recommended for system, system testing requiring frequent
draining will deplete water supply, who will provide oversight on
project?, consultant to review work after completion, who will maintain
system? The Board revised the agreement/contract and will send to
Courtney and the Dobbert Co. for their approval.
