  • Review and approve minutes – Minutes of meetings on 11/20/2015, 12/5/2015, and 12/10/2015 reviewed.  Dufault motioned to accept the minutes as presented, Briggs seconded.  Motion passed unanimously.
  • Tree Cutting – Dick and Mike met with someone 6 weeks ago, but they have not received a call back yet.  Mike wants to solicit three (3) foresters to put in a bid to cut trees at th e Rutland Heights property.  Dick will meet with the foresters to explain the work we want done.  Briggs made a motion to have Mike and/or Dick meet with foresters to solicit bids on the tree cutting services.  Dufault seconded.  Motion passed unanimously.
  • Roadway – Missing CAD drawings are an issue in getting the roadway certified.  Pare put it out to bid on our behalf.  Dufault suggests hiring Jarvis Land Survey (Shrewsbury); they have the proper certification.  Jarvis will charge $4,200, which was the lowest bid submitted to Pare.  Tom will ask Jarvis to rewrite the contract with us instead of Pare.  Tom will also ask Attorney Paul Cranston to send a letter regarding breach of contractual obligations to Pare.  Briggs motioned to authorize Tom to enter into agreement with Jarvis and follow-up with Attorney Cranston.  O’Clair seconded.  Motion passed unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS –
