Wastewater Study Committee approves previous minutes and outlines next steps
Summary
The Town of Southborough Wastewater Study Committee approved prior meeting minutes, reviewed four priority items for the project (AI site-screening outputs, funding, scope for town meeting, and filling a vacancy) and set next steps including a DEP meeting and further soils/GIS work.
The Wastewater Study Committee of the Town of Southborough approved minutes from prior meetings and agreed on immediate next steps for its wastewater planning work. During roll call and the minutes vote members responded in the affirmative and the Chair confirmed the group would move forward with a sequence of follow-up tasks.
Committee Chair (identified in the transcript as the meeting leader) summarized four priority items for the committee: review of AI/artifacts site‑screening outputs produced by a consultant, follow‑up on funding sources (including MassDevelopment contacts), a decision about the scope of any special town‑meeting article (area-only versus full plan), and whether to fill an empty committee slot now or delay recruitment. The group agreed to postpone active recruitment until there was clearer project momentum.
Members set procedural next steps: the Chair said he would arrange a meeting with DEP staff in Worcester to clarify permitting constraints, the committee will refine the site list through GIS and possible parcel combinations, and staff were asked to pursue funding‑source briefings at a future meeting. The committee adjourned after setting early September as the preferred date for the next meeting.
