Summary

The Oak Bluffs Economic Development Council approved an RFP for a five-year action plan and voted unanimously to forward it for processing, asking the Select Board to consider adding an Island Theater location analysis to the consultant’s scope.

Chair Mark Leonard called the Oak Bluffs Economic Development Council to order on July 14 and the council approved sending the updated Request for Proposals (RFP) for a five-year Economic Development Action Plan to Town Administrator Brough for processing.

Bob Malecki raised whether the RFP should include an analysis of the Island Theater location; Mark Leonard agreed to bring that question to the Select Board that evening. "Motion made by Susie to approve sending the RFP to Town Administrator Brough for processing, with possible addition of including an analysis of the Island Theater location to the consultant’s scope if agreed to by the Select Board," the minutes record. The motion, seconded by Amelie Loyot, passed 5-0-0.

The approval directs staff to proceed with the procurement process and leaves the specific Island Theater analysis contingent on the Select Board's decision. Council members indicated the updated RFP reflects prior conversations and edits made by Mark Leonard during the meeting. The council did not set a consultant or contract amount; next steps include formal submission for processing and any Select Board action on the Island Theater scope.
