CCRPC committee recommends Clean Water Service Provider draft proposal to board
Summary
The Executive & Finance Committee reviewed a Clean Water Service Provider draft proposal and unanimously recommended submission to the Board; Charlie Baker said the Northwest Regional Planning Commission's role will emphasize front-end partner relationships rather than project-phase work.
The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission Joint Executive & Finance Committee reviewed a Clean Water Service Provider (CWSP) draft proposal and voted unanimously to recommend it to the Board for review at its May 6 meeting.
Charlie Baker walked members through the CWSP Draft Proposal and said the Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) role has shifted to focus on building partner relationships and providing more front-end support while reducing involvement in later project phases. Baker and members discussed edits to clarify representation from Natural Resource Conservation Districts and reviewed a revised paragraph addressing how to manage risk to ensure the RPC and member municipalities are not put at risk.
Chris Roy moved and John Zicconi seconded that the Executive Committee recommend the CWSP draft proposal be submitted to the Board for review; the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The CWSP proposal outlines a regional approach to coordinating clean-water work and clarifies roles among regional planning commissions and conservation partners; clarifying the NRPC's role shifts responsibilities and partner relationships that could affect project delivery.
Next steps: The committee's recommendation will be placed on the Board agenda for review and further discussion.
