Plympton selectmen remove Town Properties Committee from public water supply project
Summary
The Board of Selectmen voted March 23 to remove the Town Properties Committee from oversight of the Town Campus Public Water Supply Project and to manage the project directly with the town engineer; funding must be secured by June 30, 2026.
The Plympton Board of Selectmen voted on March 23 to remove the Town Properties Committee (TPC) from oversight of the Town Campus Public Water Supply Project and to assume direct management of the effort. The board recorded a 2-0 vote to ratify an executive-session decision taken March 18, 2026, and then voted 2-0 to proceed under the Board with the current engineer and without an Owner's Project Manager (OPM).
Town counsel Gregg Corbo had recommended the change during a briefing with the board; the minutes note that project funding must be completed by June 30, 2026. The board’s actions formalize that direction and place immediate responsibility for contract and funding oversight with the Selectmen and the town engineer. The minutes do not specify a new funding source or timetable beyond the June 30 deadline.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the board will work with the current engineer to manage the project, and the Town Properties Committee will be removed from the project’s purview. The motion to ratify the earlier executive-session vote and the subsequent motion to take direct oversight both passed 2-0.
