RFP Procedure:
The procedure for deciding on the response to the RFP for Middle Line is:

The Middle Line Road Committee and the consultant evaluate the response to the RFP.

The Middle Line Road Committee then makes a recommendation to the Housing Committee.

The Housing Committee then makes its recommendation to the Board of Selectmen.


Mr. Feiner moved to accept the procedure as outlined. Mr. Goldman seconded. Motion carried.

Housing Draft Application:
The Committee reviewed the draft application for Homesite Housing. The Committee approved the Application for use.

Applicant Question:
The Committee was posed with a question regarding an applicant. A previous applicant was approved for Part I under the old regulations. The applicant has not been approved for Part II. The applicant was recently married and is wondering if they need to reapply. After much discussion it was decided since the Committee was so close to having the "list" re-qualify, they decided to suspend the application. As per the guidelines, an applicant must be re-qualified after any changes to the guidelines. This would not harm the applicant in any way.

Implementation Guidelines:
The Implementation Guidelines were reviewed. Beginning with the Deed Rider Summary section. Mr. Goldman offered to review that section and make his recommendations at the next meeting.

Meeting Adjourned @ 9:20p.m.
These minutes respectfully submitted by Deborah Cini, Administrative Assistant.
