Select Board discusses RSU RFP, budget committee staffing and local contracts
Summary
The Select Board discussed RSU withdrawal committee activity and an RFP for legal services, said the budget committee needs additional members for upcoming 2627 budget work, and updated a contract to name the Town of Buckfield as responsible party.
Town officials discussed several administrative and planning items at the Jan. 6 Select Board meeting, including work related to the RSU withdrawal committee, the upcoming municipal budget timeline and a contract update.
Board members said the RSU was gathering information and considering firms for legal work. Speaker 2 said the RSU had approved an RFP to be sent to multiple firms and that Jan. 8 is the deadline for responses; the RSU withdrawal committee is meeting Jan. 8 in Sumner. The board emphasized that legal advice is needed before finalizing aspects of the withdrawal and budget work.
On budgeting, Speaker 1 said they are compiling the 2627 budget and plan to present it to the budget committee in February and March. Speaker 1 noted that only one member is currently appointed to the town budget committee and that at least two more members are needed for an active committee.
Speaker 1 also reported signing a contract for the "main reservation," and corrected the named party in the contract to the Town of Buckfield rather than a previous committee name; the speaker will scan and send the signed contract once their copier is working.
During public comment, Judy asked whether the Jan. 8 meeting was in Sumner or Buckfield, noting the minutes listed Buckfield; board members confirmed the meeting was scheduled in Sumner and indicated the minutes contained an error.
