Co-Chair Emily Beebe called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
The Board went over the Action Agenda items from the last meeting. Steve Gazzano had put together a chronology of legal opinions. He and Celeste Makely had checked on SOP for hook-ups and outlined procedures for the future. SOPs could be numbered, according to Makely. The Board discussed possibilities for the route of the water main and the scaled down plan. The RFP is expected to be put out this month.
The Board considered how Wastewater and Water go together and that Articles for both would be on the Warrant for Annual Town Meeting in April.
Building Inspector Paul Murphy had sent his response to BWC questions on regulatory process for the tank. The Board will go to Planning Board and ZBA with their plans.
Mark Vincent discussed a water seminar he had attended. He promised to bring more information to a future meeting.
Steve Gazzano distributed mind mapping material on planning strategies to organize efforts for moving forward with the water system. Makely moved to adopt and purchase the SmartDraw program. Gazzano seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
The Board brainstormed on a number of areas including: funding, the consultancy RFP, engineering, the water line route, the water tower, the Boy Scout Camp Well, route options, systems options, and preparing for Annual Town Meeting.
The brainstormed ideas need time lines which will be determined at the next meeting. The ideas will be charted in an Excel program until the SmartDraw program is available.
Meetings will be moved to alternating Tuesdays at 5 p.m. beginning in January.
Health Agent Hillary Greenberg had sent a request for an update on the Bookstore Restaurant. Moe Barocas had responded with an update dated 11/1/08. The Board will try to have a quorum of voting members at the next meeting to discuss this.
Beebe moved to adjourn. Makely seconded, and the meeting was adjourned by consensus at 9:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
