Council tables conservation commission request to contract with University of Rhode Island for groundwater monitoring
Summary
The council voted to table a request from the conservation commission to enter a blanket purchase agreement with the University of Rhode Island for groundwater well assessment and to extend a contract for sampling work by Lauren Flowers.
The Little Compton Town Council on Aug. 5 voted to table a conservation commission request to enter a blanket purchase agreement with the University of Rhode Island for a groundwater well assessment and monitoring initiative and to authorize an extension of a contract for Lauren Flowers to continue sampling through the fiscal year.
The request, presented as new business, sought council authorization both to enter a standing purchase agreement with the University of Rhode Island (URI) and to extend a contract with a contractor identified as Lauren Flowers for groundwater-sampling work in Little Compton. A councilor asked whether staff had spoken with the conservation commission chairman about the request; that exchange indicated some members had not been briefed, and a motion to table the request until the next meeting passed by voice vote.
Councilors did not take further action on the groundwater-monitoring proposal at the meeting. The item will return to a future agenda when the conservation commission has had opportunity to discuss the request with the solicitor and the council.
Ending: The tabled request will be considered at a future meeting with additional information from the conservation commission and staff.
